Your wallet data (like balances and transaction history) lives on the blockchain, not inside a single browser. The browser extension is just a tool to access it. You can install MetaMask on Chrome, Edge, and Kiwi, and import your existing account using your 12-word phrase in each one. This gives you access to the same funds from different browsers. However, each installation will have its own separate password for locking that specific extension.<br><br>I use Microsoft Edge.

If you need to use MetaMask on an Android device for tasks that normally require a desktop, like interacting with certain decentralized applications, Kiwi is a strong option. On a computer, Chrome or Edge are more standard, but Kiwi on mobile fills a specific need for on-the-go access to the full extension.<br><br>What's the first thing I should do after installing the MetaMask extension?<br><br>Immediately after installation, you will choose to create a new wallet or import an existing one. If you are new, select "Create a New Wallet." You will then be given your Secret Recovery Phrase. Write these 12 words down on paper and store them securely. Do not save them on your computer or take a screenshot. This phrase is the only way to restore your wallet if you lose access. Confirm the phrase, set a strong password for the extension, and your wallet will be ready.<br><br>I installed it but the MetaMask icon isn't showing in my browser toolbar. How do I find it?<br><br>Browser extensions sometimes hide in the puzzle piece or extensions menu after installation. Look for a puzzle piece icon (in Chrome/Edge) or a menu icon in your browser's top-right corner. Click it, and you should see the MetaMask fox icon listed. You can usually click "Pin" next to it to make it permanently visible in your toolbar for easy access. If it's not there, check your browser's extension management page to confirm it was installed correctly.<br><br>Is it safe to install the MetaMask extension from the Chrome Web Store?<br><br>Yes, the primary and safest method is to install MetaMask directly from the official Chrome Web Store. This ensures you are getting the authentic, unaltered extension. Avoid downloading installation files from other websites, as they may contain malicious code. The Web Store version is reviewed by Google and automatically updates for security patches. Always verify the publisher is listed as "MetaMask" and check the number of users and reviews for additional confirmation before installing.<br>
