**Wallet matamask, a browser extension
We have been accustomed to such a long time that crypto-currency nets can be installed as a separate program or maybe on the internet. There are still wallets for mobile phones, hardware wallets, paper bitcoins, wallets, that can be literally printed paper.**

### *Fist - Official Wallet ETHEREUM*
But Ethermeyer Perce Metamask, which will be discussed later, it is another patent representative - an extension for the browser (plug-in). Here metal mask developers explain the choice of such a software architecture:
### [*Metamask is a bridge that lets you access a controversial future network in your browser today. This allows running DAPP applications in your browser without running a complete node*](url)
Ethernet wallet Metamask, Extensions for Chrome, How to Use and Restore, etc. Wait Metamasks, Chrome Extensions, How to Use and Restore.
Metalmark includes a secure storage which provides a user interface for managing your wallet on different sites and performing transactions.
First of all, we create metal masks as an extension for CHROME, but ultimately we plan to support Firefox and other browsers. If you are a developer, you can start developing today with metamask.
Our goal is to make ETHEREUM as ETHEREUM as possible as possible, as much as possible.
That, the Metamask extension works as an intermediate between you and Dapps, a new type of application that lets you create a block
For ordinary citizens, it is a convenient way to pay directly through the browser with no need to use your main purse. It can be compared to virtual bank cards for internet payments to protect your main card. At the same time, there is a serious advantage over plugins online wallets for browsers - personal keys, you are saving a server on the Internet.

You can use different wallets in different browsers on different computers, replenishing them as necessary from your original wallet. If you are worried about the security of your crypto-currency storage, save the main volume in the confidential area, but at the same time, you can earn small money from your laptop or computer without the unnecessary problems.
### ★First Launch of Installation and Metamask:
The installation process for the metal mask is similar to installing Chrome plugins or other plugins for Firefox. Everything is quite simple and understandable.
We go to [https://metamask.io/](url) and click on the "CHROME EXTENSION GET" button, which redirects to our online store Chrome plugin is free. On the open page, click the "Install" button. After automatic installation, the plugin will be displayed in the top right corner of the browser.

Immediately afterwards, you will be asked to come up with a password. After confirming the password and confirming the issues, a list of keywords that will be restored when you access your wallet appears. They must be recorded and stored in a safe place. The "Save Saved Sentences as File" button will save this list as a file once you confirm the keyword and you can use them, press «I've copied the IT to secure anywhere».
All metamask data is encrypted and stored on your computer, they are not sent over the Internet. Restoring wallets without keywords will not work.
### ★How to use a thick mask:
The Metamask interface has many control elements - buttons, tabs, drop-down menus.

The main menu is called by pressing a button in the form of three horizontal lines in the upper right corner. Buttons to go to settings, Lock button for lock plug-in, and help info button.
The button to the main menu on the left of the call button to switch between accounts. You can switch between many wallets, to create new and to import data from previously created ones.
The Account Management menu is organized by clicking the button in the form of an ellipse right on the name of the account name. The etherscan.io site has a link to see information about the purse, allowing you to display the QR code of the purse, copying the address to the clipboard, and allowing you to export the private keys.
The "ready" button lets you switch to the ETH purchase using the Coinbase service (opens in a new browser window) or ShapeShift (opens inside the Metamask plugin).
The "SEND" button allows you to send ETH, for that you have to specify the address and transaction amount of the purse.
The "SENT" tab contains information about the previous transaction.
The "tokens" tab collects information about the available token and allows it to be added with the "ADD TOKENS" button
### ★Summary
I want to evaluate this product, the form that the metamask wallet is given.
Incomplete Plus in the form of a plugin, a successful choice of architecture. On the one hand, access via the browser, it is easy and convenient for everyone. On the other hand, it is still an application to the computer, not an online service. Accordingly, wallet and private keys on the network are not accessed.
In my opinion, the developers are very successful in their product. It's a tool for every day, not a store of fortune. Personally, I have an almost "half-leg on the Internet" in large quantities that would be uncomfortable with these concepts almost half the success of the right niche choices for your software products.
Of course, in a short time, the use of plug-ins to write this article will not be appreciated by all the advantages and disadvantages that are noticeable in everyday use. So I decided to check out Chrome Web Store reviews.

The average score is slightly higher than the fourth, the plugin downloaded about 380 thousand users, but Russian-language review remembers you last week.

Review about Meta Mask
Among the errors, I look at the lack of two-factor authentication and an incomprehensible choice of interface languages - English, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese
