What is MetaMask and how it connects to your wallet ?

Metamask is a browser extension and wallet. it doesn't connect to your wallet because it's a wallet on it own. Metamask is good and haven't had any serious problems as I know. With Metamask you have a full control over your funds because you have a seed phrase so you can consider it safe. Moreover, you can access MEW via Metamask without MEW knowing your seed phrase. One of the best ETH/ERC20 wallet in my opinion.

Seems like you have a lot of one liner questions asking here and there. archive post history (http://archive.is/XWNls)

Do you know there is a search function on this forum and you can easily search the discussed topics?


I encourage you to use the feature or the way you are going, any of the mod may ban you for posing spammy message.

Well of course, it is a browser extension of MEW, you can access it by consdering you've imported your .json file, you know your password and seedphrase just in any case.
and please research on your own, this is a very easy to google, and can be search inside the forum, know the function of search button. Ask in bct if you can find any information regarding you matter.

Even if you're new in crypto, there's Google to help you begin with such basic knowledge. Try to read first too buddy, there's a lot of resources available in here or in other sites.

In simple terms, It's a wallet and the only reason why MEW, MyCrypto or any other service has access to it is because It has an API. It's not possible to access it from different computers unless you import the seed.

Tell me, please, can i use my metamask plug-in on another computer/browser?

Metamask plugins are available at the following browsers:

-Mozilla Firefox

-Google Chrome

-Brave

If you want to used it on another computer then obviously you just need to install the plugins there at those browsers mentioned and input your credentials.

Metamask for me is the most secured and easy way to access your ETH wallet on the go without risk of exposing your private keys. Its Fast, secure and stress free. Its web extension is available on chrome Mozilla and others. Find the option on Mew website and Decentralized exchanges.

Metamask is browser extension for Goole chrome browser(As my knowledge only for chrome browser).

it is just like Myetherwallet but very easy and secure use. You can create Eth and erc20 token support wallet using Metamask. And also you can import already created myEtherwallet. This extension is very secure than direct login to MEW. Another advantage is when you Eth based decentralized exchange(most of the DEX support) we can use this extension for transaction confirmation

MetaMask is awesome, I know it has only recently become available on Firefox. I've used it a few times on Brave browser and it rocks!

Metamask is awesome extension for connect to Ethereum network from browser. It's provide you Web 3 network interface.

If you want a wallet, use Jaxx (http://blokspot.io/wallets/jaxx).

Do you own Wallets.com? It looks as if it is up for sale.

I just published a step by step guide into installing MetaMask for Chrome. You can find it here (Altcoin Discussion, as it technically belongs there):

Hope it helps!

If you manage your tokens with MetaMask you are able to exchange them in decentralized exchangers like Etherdelta.

Yes, it is an ethereum wallet but in order to send the tokens from one address to another, you need to use it with the official MyEtherWallet website. Although you can view the view the tokens as well as eth balance in metamask itself.
It is a great plugin that even prevents from fake phishing websites of MEW, etc.

Could you give a secure link to install Metamask on the Mozilla Firefox. I believed that Metamask is only available at Google Chrome. Thank you.

I found a useful website that talks about connecting your private blockchain with Metamask, Mist, and MyEtherWallet:

Hello, can I use it with my phone

Not MetaMask. But you can install another app like Trust Wallet (https://trustwalletapp.com/) and import your MetaMask private-key into it.
