Do not install this to Chrome browser. It's fake. Always check if the extension has many reviews before installing. It might steal your Ethereum private keys. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/metamask/ajhghapnjiaimhegcipdpehnihdkljdj?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon

yes, the original metamask has a fox logo and is offered by metamask.io (not an individual).

How can this be taken of Chrome store so people don't install it by mistake instead of the real MetaMask?

There are now quite a lot of people reporting that they are losing Ethereum on their MEW wallet due to hacking so many investors are redirecting to using the Metamask utility. So scammers are taking advantage of this at the moment to create the fake Metamask utility to steal investors' assets. Be very careful with the number of wallets you have.

ATTENTION:

MyEtherwallet devs: kvhnuke and tayvano have splitted. So it means the new https://www.mycrypto.com/ is a copy of the original MEW and headed by tayvano https://medium.com/mycrypto/mycrypto-launch-6a066bf41093

The original MEW remains online, so don't be spooked that there are two versions of MEW that look alike.

To avoid the headaches of remembering all of this changes, NEVER SHARE YOUR PRIVATE KEYS.

Use the real Metamask so you don't have to share your keys with any site!!!!!

thank you friends, your information is very helpful especially for those who have never used metamask for their personal wallet. Currently phishing is so and many other dirty ways are done in order to steal and get into our wallets. Be careful and keep our wallets.

It's urgent to report these assholes to prevent future scams.

@ethereumblue already have been made the statement about this scam:
https://twitter.com/EthereumBlue/status/962628354007543808

We have responsibility to report these scammers. People can lost their money especially newcomers who don't understand how to check it.

It's easy to report them
Just click on this. !!!DON'T INSTAL!!!


And then report this scammer

Ok. It is good to know that metamask to chrome browser pose problems if you install so many will be warned. I am glad I have installed metamask before with many good reviews. Maybe this version is not good at all and that many bad reviews surfaced.

How many version is metamask has? I dont really understand how it work since now i still feel happy with myetherwallet.
I will feel free to check this to remind me that is not all metamask is good. Thanks for warning.
