Reality is that desktop wallet is a bit more tough to crack, and it can't be stolen that easily, I mean, sure, your PC could be stolen if someone breaks into your house, but that is a bit lesser chance, whereas if your mobile phone is stolen, that could be easier.

Without someone breaking into your home in order to steal your computer, he can hack your PC and steal your desktop wallet after you download a program or crack that contains Trojan viruses or after a click on a suspicious link, so I see that hacking the PC is much easier than the phone, so I prefer phone wallets like trust wallet and Binance wallet, so we have to keep the private key and mnemonics of our wallet in an external hard drive away from the phone or PC.

However, at the same time mobile could be going anywhere, you could be anywhere in the world and wouldn't have to carry your PC, if it is a desktop PC then it is already a very tough thing, but even at Laptop level, do you go everywhere with your laptop? Not many people do. Which means that mobile has a better advantage to be carried right in your pocket and that means a lot.

I personally prefer using a mobile wallet because it's more convenient which is necessary, especially for those who often travel. As long as its from a trusted source and secured, I would definitely use it over a desktop wallet. What we want is convenience accompanied by security and safety.

I prefer mobile wallets because they are easier to access and they go anywhere you go, you cant take a PC with you when you are going away from your home, another reason why I dont like PC wallets is the easy way of getting compromised through internet browsing on the PC, mobile wallets are safer.

It depends, if you do not know a lot about computers then as long as you download your mobile wallet from a trusted source then I would say you have a point, however if you do know how to secure your PC properly then without a doubt it is the safest option out of the two, now this may seem hard to do but it is not, as long as you maintain good habits then securing your coins while using a desktop wallet is something that anyone could do, but unfortunately many people fail at following those steps and they end up paying the highest price for their mistake.

for me i think the best wallet is for mobile, because you easily control your funds. And the best thing in it is you can assure that your wallet is very secured when it comes phishing link unlike desktop wherein there's a possibility that hackers can brute force its system and infact most of the issues when it comes hacking are came from it. . So for me I'll choose mobile.

about this wallet comparisons, I chose to use both to access my assets. I chose a wallet that has applications on both desktop and mobile, I recommend Metamask because it can be accessed from any device, either desktop web or mobile wallet. I recommend that you do not use only one device so that your transaction flexibility can be done anywhere. In addition, using wallet access on both devices can be used as a backup when one device is damaged or lost.

Nothing is completely safe in the crypto world, everything is possible. For selection, I prefer a desktop wallet because it is more secure. I think the best open source wallet I know of is Ethereum. as long as you never give your Private Key to anyone else. Mobile wallets also have their own characteristics over desktop wallets as they automatically update to the latest wallet version, with the latest security fixes. They also come with an app (Mobile/Desktop) that can help you track balances and confirm transactions.

I can't say which was better from both caused by im also using both to keep my assets. For people are looking for the easiest way to keep their assets and they will be picking the mobile wallet. They can check it anytime and that's quite different with the PC users. PC will worth to store a lot of our assets caused by some of wallets based on desktop have multiple security measures.
This is totally different with the mobile wallet but as i have so many activities in my daily life and i prefer to take mobile wallet instead of desktop wallet
Mobile wallet is much more complex compared with the PC or desktop wallet.

I only use desktop wallets to safe my crypto holdings that are worth mentioning. I use mobile wallets only if i have to because the project only has a mobile wallet to store your crypto or to let you register your funds or stake it or stuff like that. The reason for that is, that i still think that a Desktop PCis just safer than a phone. I have antivirus software installed on my PC and of course i don't click on suspicious links, i don't join scam airdrops and i also don't reply to scam attempts on telegram or other channels therefore i feel pretty safe with my desktop wallets. I also think that if you are having significant values on mobile wallets then you should probably use a extra phone for that because it is pretty easy to lose your everyday phone at work or when you are going out or something.

I vote for trust wallet on mobile devices because its easier to access, you don't have to be at home before you can make a transaction, I love desktops and I wish my wallets are on desktops but on desktop PCs wallets aren't safe due to easier PC hijacks and click baits, this is way harder on mobile phones so mobile wallets are more safer than PC wallets.

I use a lot of wallets now with two different versions and all of them are safe because I never give away the personal device I use to anyone else and also line it with several security guards which I think are very safe, so PC wallets are still safe to say as long as you know how to use them. and take good care of it.

I personally use both Desktop Wallet and Mobile Wallet, there's not much difference between these two but I use Molie Wallet more often, why is that because Mobile Wallet is lighter and can be carried wherever we travel, than from Desktop Wallet maybe everyone have different opinions and in Mobile Wallet you have to be careful in choosing the Wallet application, personally I use several of them, Mainly Trust Wallet, and Tokocrypto.

Similarly, the Desktop Wallet compared to the Mobile Wallet Desktop is much superior in my opinion, in the Desktop Wallet there are many Wallets compared to the Mobile Wallet, and the Desktop Wallet has a secure Wallet that is trusted and proven to be good, not with Mobile Wallet only most of it is safe and good, personally in Desktop Wallet I only use it to check it is a little rare in terms of making transactions or withdrawals, if for Wallets that I often use on Desktop Wallet, namely Metamask and Tokocrypto too of course.

To be honest, I don't know which wallets are open source and which are not.
I tested Metamask from the browser wallets and from the mobile Trust Wallet.
In my opinion, Trust Wallet has much better security and is easier to use. I mean, as far as I know, Metamask is also good secured, but the browser doesn't have to be secure so good. In my opinion, the weakness of the browser security makes Metamask less secure. Of course, mobile can also be sensible to viruses or attacks, but a smartphone (even a new one) can be bought for quite little money and we can set up only a Trust Wallet on it. Then we can be sure that it will be completely safe.

I prefer to use a wallet on mobile because putting a wallet on a mobile is more effective because if we can open the wallet whenever we need it, especially nowadays many desktop wallets also have applications on mobile wallets so I look for efficiency when using a wallet.

To be honest, I have never used a desktop wallet again, the last time I used a JAXX desktop wallet. Now I switch to hardware wallet.

For quick access, I only use a mobile wallet, namely a trust wallet.

When it comes to security, hardware wallets are superior to desktop or mobile wallets.

Desktop wallet has more features other than just sending and receiving cryptos, it featured signing and verification of messages for authentications, I used Electrum and Metamask desktop both has friendly user interface, while I also used mobile version of Electrum and blockchain just for quick access to wallet for a quick transactions while I use the desktop wallet for a more complex task that can't be access via mobile wallet in a nut shell I used both desktop and Mobile wallet.

All of that is your own choice, both have their own advantages and disadvantages. but in my personal opinion a cellphone wallet is very simple and very worth it in this sophisticated era. because it makes it very easy for us but with a note having a sophisticated cellphone or the latest one

IMO, I think it depends on your personal needs and purposes because both versions of desktop and mobile wallets have their own advantages and disadvantage, for example, a desktop wallet is so big and heavy that's why it is not suitable for mobility while a mobile wallet is more convenient to use because you can bring it wherever you go so that's one of the advantages of a mobile wallet but in terms of security I think Desktop wallet is more reliable compare to a mobile wallet. But again it will be based on your purposes and needs that's my stand about it.
