All of them can be analyzed accordingly. \n- Better control: as the plugin resides in the user’s browser, it can be configured to analyze only pages with certain characteristics. For example a login form, a credit card field, etc.\n\n# Getting Started\n\nRun the following commands to install dependencies and start developing\n\n```\nyarn install\nyarn dev\n```\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003eLoading the extension in Google Chrome\u003c/summary\u003e\n\nIn [Google Chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome/), open up [chrome://extensions](chrome://extensions) in a new tab.
