Frequently Asked Questions

Is the MetaMask extension free to use? +
Yes, the MetaMask browser extension is completely free to download and use. There are no subscription fees or hidden costs. The extension is open-source and maintained by ConsenSys. Some integrated services like token swaps may have network fees, but the wallet itself is free.
Can I use MetaMask extension on multiple browsers? +
Yes, you can install MetaMask on multiple browsers and devices. However, each installation will create a separate wallet instance unless you import the same wallet using your secret recovery phrase. Your wallet data is stored locally in each browser's extension storage.
How do I verify the extension is authentic? +
Only download from official sources: Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, Microsoft Edge Add-ons, or the official MetaMask website. Check the developer name (should be "MetaMask" or "ConsenSys") and review count (should be millions). Avoid third-party websites offering MetaMask downloads.
What's the difference between extension and mobile app? +
The browser extension is designed for desktop use with direct dApp integration in your browser. The mobile app is optimized for on-the-go access with a built-in dApp browser. Both can access the same wallet using your recovery phrase, but they offer different user experiences and features.
How often is the extension updated? +
MetaMask receives regular updates approximately every 2-4 weeks. These updates include new features, security improvements, additional network support, and bug fixes. The extension auto-updates through your browser's extension store to ensure you always have the latest version.
What if I encounter installation problems? +
If you experience installation issues: 1) Ensure your browser is updated, 2) Clear browser cache and cookies, 3) Disable other extensions temporarily, 4) Try a different browser, 5) Check firewall/antivirus settings. If problems persist, visit the support site.

🚨 Critical Security Reminder

Never share your secret recovery phrase with anyone. MetaMask will never ask for your recovery phrase through email, social media, or any website. Only enter your recovery phrase in the official MetaMask extension during setup or recovery. Bookmark official dApp URLs to avoid phishing sites.
