Safest browser for Metamask ?

[cytpoway121]

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.

Firstly, you need to be careful with the kind or types of antiviru apps that you install to your pc. No laptop needs anti virus, all you have to do is activate and switch your laptop inbuilt Windows Defender to keep you secured always. If you insist on anti virus, you can download antivirus browser app for usage.

Secondly, you can use any browser with a metamask extension app without restrictions, the only precaution you need to take is to not open phish webpage on those browsers. Remember never to store seed phrases on your emails or laptop cloud.

I plan to store most of my Altcoins in MetaMask by the way, that's why I need to be super careful. Yes i've looked into Exodus, Trezor and Ledger wallets, none of them support my coins, even Ellipal. Yes they do support "some" of my coins, but WTF do I do with "some" ? I need ALL my coins to be supported ! So MetaMask the only choice left I'm afraid.

I like it when I can have all my coins in one wallet, it makes the whole idea to hodl much easier and yes metamask does the job perfectly. As for safest browser I can suggest chrome mainly because the metamask extension for chrome is directly from metamask I think but that of Firefox is from third party, am not sure how secure the chrome browser itself is, I should think it is pretty secure given it is a child of Google.

Very good advice, I was inspired by your suggestion not to use an antivirus other than the default window defender and secondly to be able to avoid phishing sites because many phishing sites circulating have duplicated wallet sites. I'm using metamask on google chrome until now but without any problems.

In fact, each of these browsers is good in a different way.
I prefer more privacy, which is why I chose Firefox, but I think if I were looking at other things I would choose Brave.

I prefer to use metamask extension in google chrome than the others because it looks like always up to date in chrome.
From my experience in Firefox, sometimes the extension can't be used (clicked but showing blank white box) so i prefer google chrome.
And we should double check the extension before we want to add it to our browser because maybe there are some fake metamask extensions out there.

I don't know if there is a difference between browsers in terms of security, but my preference is always Firefox. It feels more practical and more reliable. It can vary from person to person. But none of them are incredibly reliable in my opinion.

I've been using Metamask from Modzilla for almost 4 years and have had no problems, but I've used Metamask on Chrome and was hacked so that about 2 BNB was lost, but after that, the most important thing is to always click the lock option when we're not actively using Metamask.

Firefox most trouble than chrome always success when access, ever I use on firefox but when I click on extension icon always failed and I don't think between metamask extension trouble or firefox not working well on my computer. Right now I use on chrome browser and always faster when click icon extension. I think with metamask keep safety your assets but always check when transaction approving coin for swap with dusting attack coin or not, usually have several cases with metamask hack because ever swap dusting coin or scam coin for approving by looking higher values.

Firefox ? Chrome ? Brave ?...

It all depends on your habits, which in this case do not need to be changed. Accordingly, you do not need to specifically install any browser to install MetaMask. What you need to pay attention to is the security of the network and interaction with questionable sites, then your coins will be safe.

Many recommend Firefox and Many also recommend Chrome, I think both are good browsers for metamask,
I use both and there is no problem, but be careful when using Metamask don't use VPN if you want to be safe, just giving information

[doctor877]

i will go with brave, but i prefer to be on metamask app than on browser. you can do use and wash base on what you plan to do . just be sure you dont share your seeds or safe it online.

[andyou1234]

I personally have been using Metamask on Google Chrome for 3 years, and until now there have been no problems and problems that have arisen from the platform, but I use the locking method, namely the password when offline, of course the password I create will be saved as good as possible,

We have no problem to metamask for chrome and firefox because they are both the best and most popular browsers, but the vulnerability is affected by the use of vpn, installed virus applications, malicious extensions and etc. Chances are the app has clipboard malware embedded that detects when it copies private keys and mnemonic phrases, so check the apps and extensions on your OS before losing assets in the wallet.

I think firefox, chrome, brave are all safe as long as you don't enter the website that connects your metamask, because if you enter and connect your metamask it is possible that it could be the beginning of the problem (hacked) so be careful connecting your wallet

I'm a wallet user on Desktop Wallet, and I also use Metamask Wallet so far I haven't had a problem with this, it depends on how you use your browser, and here I use Chrome for browser security. You also have to be careful when opening social media. like Facebook, Youtube or other media because they are very aggressive in finding and tracking people's activities in doing things online, and you should never share your activities.

With this they will not be able to hack or steal your assets. and in my waleet browser I also store most of my assets in mobile wallets such as Trust Wallet and Tokocrypto to avoid this because mobile waleet also has very accurate security, and all assets you store can be guaranteed. if you say you have bought Bitdefender Antivirus that is also good, and can treat your computer or laptop well and have good security.

"Firefox is not based on Chromium (the open source browser project at the core of Google Chrome)"
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/faq/

"Yes. The Brave Browser is built on the open-source Chromium web core and our own client code is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0."

A lot of browsers use Chromium, better use hardware wallets.

That's why i didn’t use firefox browser, right now i'm using chrome browser for the last few years and it seems very user friendly browser not for only metamask, if sometimes i heard they collecting users data i don’t know it’s true or not, but in my experienced still i didn’t faced such issues. Yeah, definitely we have to check carefully before install metamask extension.

In my opinion, metamask is very safe to use, as long as you are safe in maintaining its role, but other applications have the same role, as long as you are good at maintaining every connection, yes you will get the trust of each application, good at viewing every web or exchange the restore connection with metamask, you will secure your assets.

We can't trust all browsers but most hackers hack Chrome browser data, I suggest Firefox is the best browser for Metamask and you should add advanced features, to enable auto-lock your Meamask your browser will be safe from hackers. Always use a PC or laptop browser never use any mobile browsers because mobile browsers are not safe. Defender on PC or laptop is good to measure but always should be careful.

[joeperry]

I am currently using Brave browser and I think this browser is good enough for Metamask but having a safe browser doesn't mean that you are not prone to Phishing scam since if you visit a Phishing site and connect your wallet to it or similar to that, I am 100% sure that they can still hack and steal your Metamask balance so you should be careful on visiting unfamiliar sites and links online.

So far, I'm sticking with google chrome and it's pretty safe. I think, it all depends on what link you click, or you may enter a phishing site. however, recommended browsers that are currently widely used are chorme, firefox, and Brave. I think, the 3 browsers are safe to use, on a PC or on a laptop. however, if you want to be even more secure, then use a hardwallet.
