My question is, what's the safe version of Electrum currently, or just simply, what's the stable version of Electrum with no issues? I remember before that there was a version of Electrum where it leads to phishing or malicious activities (am I remember it right?) or something related to that.
Remember to back up your previous wallets before installing any new version. All current versions are stable, but the interface of the latest version may not seem appropriate to someone who was using old versions. your last use for electrum was a long time, so you will not be affected by that.
to avoid a newbie mistakes, make sure that you are using the correct Base unit, whether it is BTC or mBTC Tools → Preferences → Appearance → Base unit.
V 4.4.0 is good.
