I know there are a lot of wallets available.
This is why I want to know your opinion what is the best online Bitcoin wallet, in level of security, protection of our Bitcoins and availability of support.

i suggest coinbase, they have 2fa so getting hacked is pretty unlikely. the reason i dont like blockchain is because its too slow. i have to login everytime i want to check the balance. their app sucks. and coinbase has an amazing app.

It is best to just avoid web wallets. Why do you need to use one? How about a desktop wallet, something in the lines of Electrum?

There is no other explanation but people being too lazy to download software, install it and learn how it works.

Hopefully in the future software gets more user friendly, but I mean using Electrum it's pretty damn easy already.

Bitcoin Core is better, but Electrum is several orders of magnitude better than using any online wallet.

I guess dealing with stuff on a web browser is attractive for newbies or something.

What about Multibit? Would you recommend it to newbies?

I choose blockchain.info for the best online bitcoin wallet. Because blockchain is my first bitcoin wallet and until now there is no problem to blockchain and there is a big update on their wallet though.

Thank you for your answers.
In your opinion, Xapo is enough secure to store Bitcoins?

wallets like Xapo, coinbase are good but there is a problem with them. you don't have access to your private keys so you don't control your bitcoins, they do.

this means in case they go under for any reason (bankrupts, fraud,...) you will lose all your money.

but wallets like blockchain.info are not like this because you have the private keys.

IMPORTANT: online (web) wallets are not secure because they are all susceptible to hack. try to use cold storage instead, if you have many bitcoins.

But for small amounts of Bitcoins, online wallets are good.
On http://www.blockchain.info, there are transaction fees?

Blockchain.info since they allow you to have access to your private keys (legacy wallet because new wallet don't allow that) and there is also 2FA which increase the security too.
I wouldn't recommend storing in exchanges like Coinbase or Bitstamp etc...
