    I use "Update Scanner Add-on" with "Mozilla Firefox". its free :) and does the job.

    Reviewing 5.1.5 Beta 2 (Nov 5, 2009)

    Awesome application. I was rather shocked to see the new price, though (over $80 USD). I paid $30 for a new WebSite-Watcher Personal license back in 2004. (There is a 50% upgrade discount, but I think it's still expensive.)

    This application saves me time from browsing various websites looking for updates. Now, with this running, I can easily check and don't have to waste time individually checking them. I have checked out other solutions, including one which incorporates itself into the firefox web browser, and none are this comprehensive or complete. Great application!

    If you think WsW is bloated, you're nuts.

    Reviewing 5.0.1 Beta 1 (Jan 20, 2009)

    Use to be great (4.0) but has now become slow and bloated with the new version (5.0). For example, compare the startup times and how long it takes the new version to load links within website-watcher when you initially start it up. Also, the new AutoBackup feature is S-L-O-W and runs by default every day.

    It's way too expensive for what it does and the licensing scheme is a rip off and is basically an effort by the author to extort money from existing users. Bug fixes should be free. Period.
