You bring up some great points. It's true that not all extensions are trustworthy, which is why it's important to research them before installation. The ones I mentioned, like AegisWeb3, Web3 Antivirus (W3A), and Guarit, are known for their reliability and helpful features. For example, Guarit provides real-time audit reports and detailed contract analysis, which many traders find valuable.
I completely agree that cross-checking information and using methods like burner wallets, virtual machines, and separate devices are excellent practices. These steps add extra layers of security and help protect your main assets. No extension can offer 100% security, so staying vigilant and proactive is key. Combining these tools with your own security measures can provide a solid defense against potential threats.
Thanks for the feedback and happy trading!
This is what I was looking for and would have mentioned if I hadn't seen it. Once again for the one hundredth time, "don't trust, verify". And it is only with a burner wallets, virtual machines, separate devices that can be used to verify these extensions. And for me, I feel that the period of verification should be as long as 3 months just to very sure which may not be enough but it is the minimum.
