How is this different from asking an AI to watch?
WebPageGazer watches only the spot you choose, inside your browser.
It never sends the content of the pages you watch to an AI service. It only sends to the notification destinations you set up.
Sound familiar?
I care about one spot, yet I have it read the whole page
Pages behind a sign-in are hard to hand to an AI
I want to watch more, but there’s a limit on how many
→ With WebPageGazerIt watches just the spots you choose, signed in, with no limit on how many.
A rough guide to choosing
Some AI assistants can also watch a page and tell you when it changes (we checked in October 2026; features change with updates).
| WebPageGazer | Watching with an AI assistant | |
|---|---|---|
| What is watched | Only the spot on the page you choose | The AI reads and decides |
| Pages behind a sign-in | Watched while signed in, in your browser | Most look from the service’s side |
| How many | No limit | There may be a limit |
| When it can’t read the page | Says it couldn’t read it | Depends on the service |
| While the browser is closed | Pauses (picks up when you open it) | Some keep running |
To watch small changes in a set spot, on many pages, while signed in: WebPageGazer. If you need checks while your browser is closed, an AI assistant or a cloud monitoring service suits you better.
Pages behind a sign-in, too
- Reads the page in your browser, signed in as you are
- Never holds your password
Member-only pages, or pages such as internal tools that need a sign-in, can be watched as they are if you are signed in to them in your browser. The extension never keeps your password.
Good to know
- Runs only while the browser is open
It works only while your browser is open on your computer. While the browser is closed it pauses, and picks up again when you open it.
- Every 30 minutes at first
Pages are checked every 30 minutes by default. To go easy on the sites you watch, there is a minimum interval.
- Skips pages that ask not to be visited
Pages a site asks not to be visited in its robots.txt are not visited (The rules we follow towards the sites).
- Check the site’s terms yourself
Please check that watching a page doesn’t conflict with that site’s terms.
