How to Install MetaMask Wallet ExtensionUpdated a day ago

Installing the MetaMask wallet extension is straightforward:

• Go to the official MetaMask website at metamask.io/download metamask.io.

• Choose your platform. Click the icon for your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge, or Opera). The site will redirect you to your browser’s extension store.

• Add the extension. On the store page, click Add to [Browser] (for example, “Add to Chrome”). Confirm any prompts. The MetaMask icon (a fox) should appear in your browser toolbar.

• Enable the extension. Some browsers require you to pin or enable the new extension. Make sure it’s active in your browser’s extensions/add-ons menu.

MetaMask officially supports Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge, and Opera metamask.io. (A mobile app is also available for iOS and Android, but we’ll focus on the extension here.) Always download from official sources. The only safe way to get MetaMask is via the official site or your browser’s official store. As one guide warns, “Always use MetaMask’s official website, metamask.io/download, to find authentic browser extensions”cointracker.io. Downloading from anywhere else could be a scam.
