I'm looking for software that will check a webpage to see if anything has changed on it. I believe the ones from the past kept an old copy then did a diff to the latest copy and then let the user know which ones have changed. I'm having zero luck with Google as I can't find that special keyword that helps narrow the search down.
Anyone know of any software that can check to see if a webpage has changed? I want to put in all the URLs I manually check for new device firmware, mobo BIOS, drivers, etc. and then have the software check them for me.
Here's an example of what I'd like, but this isn't Windows software.

I'm going to try Internet Owl (freeware for Windows). If anyone knows of something better, let me know.

Do you want to scan pages for changes in general or just to scan for version changes of software? There are Firefox extensions for both, and I know of a good one for the latter (though I don't know much for the former).

Scanning pages for changes in general I guess. I'm mostly on the lookout for new firmwares for all my devices and I don't know if that would be included in the FF extension.
Hit me with the FF extension please, I'll try that for S&Gs anyways.
Edit: I'm going to try wfx_Versions, but if you know of a diff one, let me know

wfx_Versions was the one I was going to recommend. I even wrote the .list tutorial

...and I don't like PERL.
It's NOT a candidate.

It's a Firefox addon, but it works like a charm. I already used it, but lost interest. Try it (link).
Blue is everything.
Thank man! I'll give it a try. I'm sure I'll find one I like eventually.
