MetaMask is the most popular platform which traders use. But we know how careful and attentive a user should be while surfing the internet. We are not only talking about the crypto world but also in general. Cyber fraud is increasing day by day. You never know that just by clicking on one wrong link, all personal data would be transferred to the hacker. And these frauds are seen more in mobile phones than the people using Chrome. Do you know that using
MetaMask Chrome Extension is safer than using the mobile application? You must be wondering why it is so, then written below are the reasons for it.
While downloading the application either from Google Play Store or from App Store, there is a chance that you might download the wrong application without paying much attention to the logo, etc. And not only this but you download several new applications on a daily basis. Running those applications requires you to grant permission on the device. The users just grant the permissions without even reviewing them. Thus, any of the applications could get access to your MetaMask account. Therefore, because of these reasons, it is preferred to use MetaMask Chrome Extension.
However, there are some disadvantages to using Chrome Extension. The biggest disadvantage is that to get access to your MetaMask account anywhere you will have to carry your laptop everywhere you go because of it. And even to trade you will have to wait for several moments for your laptop or computer to switch on and then log in to your MetaMask Chrome Extension. Whereas in your mobile application, you do not have to wait for several moments. It is much more time-saving and is easy to access, but not safe to use in comparison with browser extensions.
