Do you use a browser extension or mobile app for crypto wallet?

[neku]

Most of the crypto wallets like Trust Wallet and Metamask are available as a browser extension or app for smartphones. This question is for members who are using these wallets, do they use the app on their smartphone or browser extension. Which is the more secure option for receiving crypto payment?

 

[King Belieal]

I have Trust Wallet as an app on my phone. I just feel that the wallets offered by browser extensions might be limited in functionality like swapping of crypto.

I use the Metamask wallet on the Chrome browser extension, but for the Trust wallet I use the mobile phone app, of course the issue of non-custodial crypto wallet security is in the hands of the user, so there are separate tips for securing the browser extension wallet.

I have both options, but only for receiving coins from websites, i don't use both the app and web extension for holding coins, its bit risky to use them. I only hold my coins with web version crypto wallets.

In my opinion, there are no major problems. Both wallets, both wallet extensions and mobile apps wallets, are both very safe, easy to use and user friendly, errors often occur just because users are careless, we can also use browser extensions and mobile apps wallets interchangeably just by importing seed phrases.

Be careful what do you share and where do share this informations. This data are most sensitive in security. Browsers wallets are more often hacked than cold wallets.

I prefer the mobile apps. The very fact that some browsers have trackers scares me to use them to hold my crypto assets.

Depends on the circumstance, your specific needs, etc.
