Newbie Must Be carefull about Ledger live Browser Extension

[joniboini]

Google search is our friend to find anything we don't know in past. but today after working and being a family with crypto, they and I have tried to leave my old friend (google search), because today, that old friend be hit himself, and many scammers entrenched on search engines.

I mean, since you already read that article, you can just simply scroll down and click the link to see whether the extension is live or not. Most of the time developers will simply redirect you to a download page if the extension is live. Not to mention you are reading an official blog, where you can simply click home and you'll get redirected to the Ledger home page and search for the extension there.

I do agree that Google is terrible if you want to search for legit apps. Scammers can buy an ad slot or keywords and they will show up on top of the search result. Should never use them to find apps or extensions, just check the developer page. There is no end to fake extensions, this won't be the last, and more of them will come whether you use Google search or not.

Regarding for this also, https://nftevening.com/ledger-connect-meet-the-web3-browser-extension-of-the-future/
Many people interested to try web3 on ledger and searching it because this is early of 2023.

Is there any survey where people were asked whether they are interested in Web3 from Ledger or something similar? I never heard about it, at least I don't see any articles from news sites that I followed. Anyway, they should've known by now that relying on Google search to download apps is terrible. Many websites already post news about it, whether it is related to crypto or not. Such as this one.

I don't like installing browser extensions and add-ons on my browsing software, they get compromised easily because it's hard to tell which is safe and which is not safe, for the fact that you can use metamask wallet in your browser as extension makes me stayed away from installing metamask, the fastest way you can lose your asset on PC is using browser extensions and keeping your assets on a crypto wallet that works as a plug-in on your browser.
