Google Chrome is currently the most used browser because it supports the latest web standards and has a powerful plug-in system. Now the ETH wallet MetaMask is also a Chrome plug-in.
In addition to being a simple wallet, MetaMask's main selling point is that users can easily interact with Ethereum's smart contracts, or that MetaMask can be used to participate in ICOs, you may feel more comfortable.
Like most wallets, MetaMask does not store wallet information. The private keys and passwords of all wallets are held by the users themselves. Even if MetaMask stops updating, everyone can retrieve the private keys from other wallets. own coins.
installation steps
Use the Chrome browser to go to the MetaMask official website and follow the wizard to install it. After the installation is complete, you will see the plug-in icon on the right side of the URL bar. Click the fox icon to MetaMask. The first time you use it, you need to confirm the terms of use, and press "Accept" to continue.
Then create a wallet password, which you must remember.
Then there is the backup password, which is used to restore the wallet, and this is recorded in a permanent place.

「Account 1」下面就是 ETH 钱包地址，地址右边有一堆橘色小图标：
 |
在 etherscan 网站看交易明细。 |
 |
copy钱包地址。 |
 |
钱包地址 QR Code，方便手机钱包扫描。 |
 |
显示钱包私钥，用来恢复钱包、或在 MyEtherWallet 等打开钱包。 |
如果你想要发送 ETH 给交易所或者朋友，可以直接按「Send」，输入对方的地址和 ETH 数量就可以，而「Transaction Data」可以不用理。而「Buy」选项我们基本上没用，因为用法定货币购买 ETH 的服务商Coinbase 只支持美国，唯一可用就是 Shapeshift 将其他币换成 ETH。
如何浏览和存取 MetaMask 钱包的其他 ERC-20 token？
如果大家用 MetaMask 接收了其他以太坊 token、甚至用来参加 ICO，你会发现在 MetaMask 看不到这些token，这时候可以用 ethplorer 网站 ，输入你的 MetaMask 钱包地址，就可以看到除了 ETH 以外、还有什么币在其中了。
如果大家要需要用 token，就需要 MyEtherWallet，大家需要先拿到 MetaMask 钱包的私钥，输入到 MyEtherWallet 中就可以。
小结
MetaMask 可以说是一个相当简单的钱包，但目前它是链接 DApp 与钱包的最好方式，而作为钱包它该有的功能都有了应该会升级支持其它以太坊 token，会更加方便。
