    Great addon. Works perfectly except for a blip. I seem to be losing log data. Does this addon delete log entries after a specific time period or number of entries?
    EDIT: That makes sense for a small number of trackers but I'm dealing with about 5-600 rapidly changing trackers. Any way you could suggest to handle that?
    EDIT2: That would be great.
    EDIT3: Bug report. You can't open the settings for a monitor beyond the first page. Steps to reproduce. 1: Create enough filters to fill more than a page. 2: Scroll a page below and click settings. 3: Nothing happens.
    EDIT4: A batch refresh failed trackers option would be appreciated.
    EDIT5: Thank you. Figured it out.
    EDIT6: Is the black bar beside the scrollbar in this picture (https://i.imgur.com/1JIIit4.png) intentional? Because it's wasting space.

    The log has a limit of 200 entries. If there are 200 entries already and a new log entry is registered, the oldest one is deleted. This is necessary because otherwise the log size could grow very large which slows down saving and loading.
    EDIT: Fair point. We can make the log size configurable with a warning that having large log size can affect performance.
    EDIT3: Good catch. This is fixed in PageProbe 1.11.6+ (available right now). It worked fine on Chrome but Chrome and Firefox seem to produce different element position data for events.
    EDIT4: Available in PageProbe 1.16.0+ (right click folder and select 'Refresh Failed Probes')

    This extension is awesome. I have been using for a couple of weeks now to track text changes on websites and it works like a charm. Also it checks the pages very fast and it gives the user the option to chose between static or dinamic page load, which is awesome for people who needs to monitor lots os pages.

    This add-on is shaping up to be a nice competitor to Distill Web Monitor. Highly recommended.

    excellent addon. please confirm my donation.

    suggestion:
    - i need separate log data for each sites.
    - could you add unread icon like Distill?

    A great replacement for those looking for a better page monitor. Adds conditions and actions which only Distill (which is paid) supported uptil now.
