Subscribing to blogs and websites via RSS is the best way to track what we like. However, there are still many websites that do not support the output in RSS format. How can we track the updates to these sites?

If you use a browser that is Firefox, then http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/34037.html ">update scanner is a good solution." Update scanner is a Firefox extension (add-on software) that can monitor any page updates. After installation, an arrow appears in the status bar of the Firefox browser and an exclusive sidebar appears when clicked. If you have a website that you want to track without RSS, click "New Item" in the sidebar to keep track of the current page.

Update scanner can highlight the last update of the page that is being tracked and compare it to what was before the update. Update scanner can also set the frequency of tracking updates (from 5 minutes to once a day) and the sensitivity of updates (from 1 bytes to 1000 bytes). In addition, update scanner also set a shortcut button to automatically open all the tracking list of updated pages, easy to track the use of a large number of pages.

If you are accustomed to using Firefox, then update scanner will be an essential extension.
