If needed, there are some more to choose from https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet and choose WEB
Some details are also provided there.
Weird that the blockchain wallet isn't listed.



You are right my friend realized that there was no blockchain.info. Is there a problem between blockchain and bitcoin.org so it is not included as an option blockchain wallet? : D Maybe if anyone knows can share here. But really very strange, large companies such as blockchain not listed there.

Edit:  Apparently it bitcoin.org not bitcoin.com, if at bitcoin.com blockchain there. Please check here https://www.bitcoin.com/choose-your-wallet?category=web

It actually is not strange at all that blockchain.info is not listed there. They have strict criteria for listing wallets on the site to ensure that users have supported and secure wallet software. You can see the criteria here: https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org#wallets. Blockchain.info fails some of those and thus is not listed. Many users have found concerning issues with their security, especially the use of a weak RNG. Many times security issues have been pointed out but those issues were not addresses for a long time. Their service typically has strange bugs that have caused issues in the past. Many of those bugs are simple bugs that should have been easily found and solved but were not. Their customer support is also pretty bad.

This is the PR that removed bc.i from bitcoin.org: https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/663 with explanations of why it was removed. Some of the issues identified have been fixed since then but many of Bitcoin experts and long time users still consider blockchain.info to be pretty bad.

Edit:  Apparently it bitcoin.org not bitcoin.com, if at bitcoin.com blockchain there. Please check here https://www.bitcoin.com/choose-your-wallet?category=web
Yes, Bitcoin.org and Bitcoin.com are very different, run by different people, and have different purposes. Please don't mix them up.

yeah thank you sir, for an explanation. I guess bitcoin.org and bitcoin.com are the same. Because the display select wallet very similar between the two sites above, was indeed different.

Web wallets are not the best for all people though.  If you are storing a large amount of  coins a offline solution is much better.  With web wallets it is a hot wallet, so chance of bad things.  Yes some have very good history... but always "could" happen.

Some offline storage like hardware wallets are going to up security huge compared to web wallet.  But they do cost money, so no everyone like's them so I can understand that.  But paper wallets are also a great option, and you can do them for free.  Just make sure you do it securely and on a "safe" computer as if computer is compromised you do it on could be giving private key right to "bad guy's".

Thanks

Indeed, seurity wise is a cold storge the best way to store your bits. [physical -DIY- coins,  paper or iron printed wallet NFC tags could be an option also]
Those got there flaws also but that is obvious, burned,melted,lost,etc

For my daily btc habbits i use a 2f web-wallet and/or android wallet app with some bits loaded up.

I was pointing out the website so people could choose from some more wallets with some pros en cons in the description

Blockchain.info is the best wallet and it has also a mixer service which is shared coin I think.

The last time I tried using blockchain.info's wallet the shared coin feature was not available. I did some research and looks like they haven't been offering shared send for quite some time now.

I think you're right. Shared send is gone.

Wen you are talking anonymous, you are asking a lot of some people.  There is a lot of the bitcoin process that is anonymous, however it is not really.  It will trace back to a computer and an IP address, so there are good chances if the government wants to trace it bad enough, they will.

You are never really anonymous with Bitcoin. You should always be aware that you are leaving traces all the time. Even if you are using tor.

Electrum is really good but I am using blockchain since last 2 years and I never had any issue with it related to the safety and security of the coins that I am holding.
