Question

The logic would be something like this:

• if I never visited the page before, just display the lastest version.
• if I visited a page before, immed display the changes to that page since the last time I visted.

I would also like to be able to go to a specific page that displays all the pages that changes since the last time I visted the website. The logic would be similar to what I mentioned above

• if I never visted the web site before, nothing has changed
• if I visted before, display the pages that have changed since I last visited.

Answer

There is no such a plugin - and it will not be easy to do, either. To make it happen you need:

1. extensive database checking for each view of each page - what about privacy?
2. user authentication even for view script - a big no-go for many users.
3. and it still will not work 100%, because of pages INCLUDEd inside pages.

What you may want instead, is make changes to mailnotify script (used by WebNotify) to send you link to view the changed page, and also to diffs of this page right there. So if page was changed, you can click on diff link instead.

If this missing feature is show-stopper for you (what I don't think should be) and can code, you may ask Core team if they are willing to include your patch.
