# Validate Rules Execution

> Learn how to verify if a Requestly Interceptor rule is executed successfully.

***

The way Requestly Interceptor shows rule executions varies between the browser extension and desktop app, tailored to their respective environments:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Browser Extension">
    Once you have enabled a Requestly Interceptor rule to modify some part of a network request or the page, the next thing you would like to do is confirm if the rule executed successfully.

    Here are 4 ways to know if a rule is executed on a page.

    ## 1. Extension icon turns green

    If any of the rules executes on the current page, the Requestly Interceptor icon in the extension toolbar (next to the address bar) will turn from a normal icon to a green icon.

    ## 2. Status Notification Widget

    A small widget appears in the **Top-right corner** of the page for **5 seconds** after the page loads or a rule is triggered.

    ***

    ### Disable the Widget

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Click the Eye Icon">
        Click the **eye icon** on the widget when it appears. This will take you directly to **Global Settings**.

        <img src="https://mintcdn.com/requestly/nBAzlC6Az5-SAqsk/images/validate-rules-execution/c16facc7-0a43-449a-a2bc-2b175a443f8c.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=nBAzlC6Az5-SAqsk&q=85&s=232161aabdc3871292582d45f1a2eb24" align="center" fullwidth="false" width="2400" height="1354" data-path="images/validate-rules-execution/c16facc7-0a43-449a-a2bc-2b175a443f8c.png" />
      </Step>

      <Step title="Toggle Off the Option">
        Find the option **"Show widget when rule is applied"** and toggle it off to disable the widget popup.

        <Tip>
          Customise when the widget appears under **Show widget on**:

          * **All Rules**: Widget appears if **any rule** executes.

          * **Specific Rules**: The widget appears **only for the rules you select**.
        </Tip>
