Etherwallet is one of the legitimate wallets because your earnings are very secure and can not be hacked solely because of the security system but it is still a dangerous thing to do online because of the hackers. The etherwallet I use because it's easy and there are security called private key that you really know and protect your earnings really.
that's a very clueless response.
private keys and public keys comes in pairs, any 'service' that you can use to interact with the eth blockchain, has to do that using private and public keys.
MyEtherWallet is only a UI to let you interact easily with the eth blockchain, they can't help you if you lose your keys etc
there's no security system what so ever, it's literally just your private key given to you, if you lose your private key you lose your funds
if you have a virus that reads your private key, you lose your funds
Any Sort of Wallet = private key controls it
if you use an exchange, they just basically generate a wallet for you, without giving you the private key(= they are in control of your funds)
if you use a hardware wallet, a private key is generated in it, and never leaves the device(=the one who has the recovery seed/device+pin controls your funds)
myetherwallet just generates a key pair, that's all
