@cnu,

You can stop interval, when try run code before look ur console browser (F12) ... try comment clearInterval(trigger) is look again a console, not beautifier? :P

Check example a source:

var trigger = setInterval(function() { 
  if (document.getElementById('sandroalvares') != null) {
    document.write('
SandroAlvares
');
    clearInterval(trigger);
    console.log('Success');
  } else {
    console.log('Trigger!!');
  }
}, 1000);
