What Is the MetaMask® Chrome Extension?
The MetaMask® Chrome Extension installs directly into your browser, enabling Web3 functionality without relying on centralized platforms. Users can manage accounts, sign transactions, and connect to dApps through a simple extension interface.
Control remains with the user. Private keys are generated and stored locally, and all interactions require explicit approval.
