Safest browser for Metamask ?

[TopT3ns]

What ever browser you use I think keep safety but virus depending when access do you open, usually if you active watching online movie with legal site you have possibility with your metamask is not safety. I think chrome browser keep safety trough you not approved swap with several dusting token received every time on your wallet, exactly dusting token always have with BSC network and give as much value when you try sell on pancake swap. another step how to protect your metamask wallet keep safety always access with legal website and never use VPN on your computer.

I usually use chrome browser and mozilla firefox, everything runs smoothly and safely, but I added kapersky antivirus for safe surfing in cyberspace, so far I have had no problems.

[Jaered]

I would suggest Mozilla Firefox. Why? It has a slight edge on Chrome for security and gets its patches more regularly and chrome is plagied with issues

[zonefloor]

I can't say which one is better in terms of security. But I always use it on chrome. The security of your computer is an important point here. If you cannot secure your personal computer, it will not matter in your browser. The metamask application already has a unique password for you. In addition, it receives approval for transactions made from you. If you do not give these necessary approvals, there will be no problems. But if you want great security, I recommend using ledger for it. Also, do not share your information with third parties.

I have been using chrome for a few years and i never had anyproblem with chrome and probably the best browser for now, chrome is very responsive unlike another browser that exist in the internet. I think that if chrome was the best one to be used for the daily interaction with the dapps through metamask and i think that you can pick this one as your browser to be used for the metamask. in my opinion if this browser is worth to try. The second position must be mozilla firefox. I would not recommend you use brave caused by this browser is not safe at all. becareful when you are using brave browser.

Firefox ? Chrome ? Brave ?

Kinda worried because all of them try to collect information about your activities online. I've purchased BitDefender AntiVirus, and taken some other precautions but... can never be too careful as they say.

Chrome is more secure than any other browser but recently it data was also leaked and 32 billion users were warned to update the Chrome immediately. Hacker stolen all email and other data. I am using Chrome and Edge for Metamask and other functions . You should also disconnect your Metamask wallet from all connected sites after you do transaction.

Presently i will advised you to use Chrome browser, is the safest and the easiest browser to use both security aspect and fast browsing speed. Most at times you don't have enable autosave details; meaning do not allow the browser to collect and save your information automatically and you must make sure to enter your data personally instead choosing the popup saved details.

All browsers are the same because it will depend on what you are visiting later. If you install Chrome only to be able to use Metamask and don't use it to visit sites on the internet, then you will be safe from phishing, scamming, trojan, or malware attacks likewise if you install Firefox or Brave.

But if you use that browser to install Metamask and visit other sites, there will be opportunities for hackers to penetrate and enter your wallet through bugs in every browser or plugin. That's just a suggestion, and the rest is up to you.

If you use Metamask then buy any Ledger or Trezor hardware wallet and any browser will be safe for you.

But be careful with smart contracts.

yes this is the best way to avoid hacking. so it doesn't matter to use chrome, egde, firefox or other browsers, as long as we disconnect the metamask access after we finish using it. and This is a safe way. but if you're still afraid, it's better not to use attention metamask, I suggest using the metask mobile application.

[NIKUBHI]

In my opinion, Firefox is a better choice than the Chrome browser but many of the web3 wallet extension does not support Firefox this is the only downside of it. And for coins/tokens support issues use Matemask but connect through your hardware wallet. In this way, all your coins/tokens will be in the safe wallet and also you can access all your crypto through metamask.

It's fine to use those browsers if you know what to do when you want to access your Metamask wallet or when you want to connect to Defi exchange sites, I personally also use Firefox and Chrome browsers to access Metamask wallets and so far I haven't had any problems with the wallet me, because most importantly we must always be careful when we want to connect our wallet to the exchange site so as not to lose assets.

I don't understand your intent and purpose for this but so far I'm still very comfortable and happy to use Firefox and Chrome as the browsers where I work.
So for now there is no intention at all to replace it with something else or add something else for certain purposes such as security for example.

[Psynthax]

My first choice must be chrome as this browser is so easy to be used to connect into the various dapps. In my opinion that if the browser that was collecting your activies through cookies and if you are not allowing it and you are fine but it's not for brave browser. I have heard a rumour that if brave was not so safe as people said and this one is collecting the data. Sometimes antivirus was not so effective to prevent it to happen. In my opinion as long as the company was collecting it through cookies and that's fine as you can reject it.
Some browsers may very suspicious. I have been warned about brave is not safe.

Chrome is good and I use it too. Nothing is really perfect without problems, even though have tried to use anti-dust attack risk prevention with AntiVirus, usually, the hacker's mode is to try to direct victims to fake websites, so always double-check all website links. the point is never to contact Metamask to a free VPN.

[rozak]

I used Metamask Extension in chrome for quite a long time. So far I haven't had any problems like yours. if anyone has had the same problem as you, I think it's been a long time since a lot of people have lost their assets and definitely won't be using the browser for wallet-related activities.
I'm afraid the problem is with your activity connecting your wallet extension to some bad web. you have to be careful with the tokens in your wallet. or to be more secure, you can use a hardware wallet to store your main assets.

[Little_Sister]

I'm using metamask on google chrome as main browser on laptop but not having any issues, we have to keep browsing activity not to access phishing sites or share your seeds with anyone, so in general using top browser is fine but you should avoid phishing sites asking for your seed.

[Len Saldua]

Okay, thanks people ! I'm going to try Chrome or Firefox based on your feedback here. I will educate myself on browser security some more as well, as I've never really used MetaMask before. I have only used PayPal, and already got some scammer contacting me through e-mail about my PayPal account. They claimed to be from PayPal ( had proper logo and looked legit ) but when I followed through ( not clicking on their fake links of course ) I confirmed they were try to scam me. Incidentally I also got someone trying to scam me through facebook, told me about some amazing DeFi project that turned out to be a scam. No, i didn't invest in it, I'm fairly thorough with my research and nothing gets past me.

I wish I could use a hardware wallet but as I said, I've checked all of them out, they only support some of my coins. Now that I will try DeFi, I will get even more exotic coins that nobody's ever heard of so zero confidence in hardware wallets.

We must also be careful not to access dex exchange sites that do not have a good reputation, although nowadays phishing sites rarely ask for your seeds but also need to be aware of connecting metamask on new exchanges, although it is impossible to hack metamask but we must be aware of the possibility that it can happen.

[Irazzzta]

My computer uses the chrome browser, and the security of my assets is still maintained as long as access uses the Metamask extension. So far, I haven't had any security issues.
most importantly and keep in my mind, I always keep the secret word, seed and private key in a safe place.
