Just came across this, and thought it was a pretty cool tool to self-host. You can use it to monitor price changes, or new events being added, or to check if that out of stock thing is back in stock.
For plain text files, such as changelogs and translation updates, I have a pull request that makes FreshRSS track diffs, without overhead of a full browser: https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/pull/8107
ChangeDetection does not necessarily need a browser and can be run without, but can do more with it (e.g. bypass some bot protections or even do some steps on the website, like filling a form, before checking for changes).
Yeah, more specifically it runs headless by default, browser requires an additional chromium container. Perfectly usable without in most (of my) use cases
