Tanga Watcher

Tanga Watcher is an extension for the Firefox browser that sits in the status bar and tells you what’s for sale right now at Tanga.com.

How To Use

Tanga Watcher automatically updates every 30 minutes, or every one minute during a Tangathon. These timings can be changed in the Tanga Watcher Options, as can the width of the statusbar panel.

Click on the statusbar panel with:

Left mouse button
to open Tanga.com in current tab.
Middle mouse button
to open Tanga.com in new tab.
Right mouse button
to open a popup menu with option to immediately refresh Tanga info (for the extra impatient).

About Tanga Watcher

Tanga Watcher is based on and makes a good companion to Woot Watcher by James Turner. I basically took his code, converted it to work with Tanga, fixed some bugs, and added some features. Here are some of the changes I made:

  • Compatible with Firefox 2.0 – 3.0
  • Fixed a bug wherein “Tanga” was misspelled “Woot” and “Tangathon” was misspelled “Wootoff”. :)
  • During Tangathon, statusbar shows Tanga icon.
  • Fixed a bug wherein statusbar would stop updating after a bad response from the server.
  • Added different behaviors depending on mouse button clicked.
  • Added icon by Dave Matos.
