I used Metamask Extension in chrome for quite a long time. So far I haven't had any problems like yours. if anyone has had the same problem as you, I think it's been a long time since a lot of people have lost their assets and definitely won't be using the browser for wallet-related activities.
I'm afraid the problem is with your activity connecting your wallet extension to some bad web. you have to be careful with the tokens in your wallet. or to be more secure, you can use a hardware wallet to store your main assets.
Topic: Safest browser for Metamask ? - page 5. (Read 674 times)
I usually use chrome browser and mozilla firefox, everything runs smoothly and safely, but I added kapersky antivirus for safe surfing in cyberspace, so far I have had no problems.
Chrome is good and I use it too. Nothing is really perfect without problems, even though have tried to use anti-dust attack risk prevention with AntiVirus, usually, the hacker's mode is to try to direct victims to fake websites, so always double-check all website links. the point is never to contact Metamask to a free VPN.
My first choice must be chrome as this browser is so easy to be used to connect into the various dapps. In my opinion that if the browser that was collecting your activies through cookies and if you are not allowing it and you are fine but it's not for brave browser. I have heard a rumour that if brave was not so safe as people said and this one is collecting the data. Sometimes antivirus was not so effective to prevent it to happen. In my opinion as long as the company was collecting it through cookies and that's fine as you can reject it.
Some browsers may very suspicious. I have been warned about brave is not safe.

Kinda worried because all of them try to collect information about your activities online. I've purchased BitDefender AntiVirus, and taken some other precautions but... can never be too careful as they say.
I don't understand your intent and purpose for this but so far I'm still very comfortable and happy to use Firefox and Chrome as the browsers where I work.Kinda worried because all of them try to collect information about your activities online.

So for now there is no intention at all to replace it with something else or add something else for certain purposes such as security for example.

It's fine to use those browsers if you know what to do when you want to access your Metamask wallet or when you want to connect to Defi exchange sites, I personally also use Firefox and Chrome browsers to access Metamask wallets and so far I haven't had any problems with the wallet me, because most importantly we must always be careful when we want to connect our wallet to the exchange site so as not to lose assets.

In my opinion, Firefox is a better choice than the Chrome browser but many of the web3 wallet extension does not support Firefox this is the only downside of it. And for coins/tokens support issues use Matemask but connect through your hardware wallet. In this way, all your coins/tokens will be in the safe wallet and also you can access all your crypto through metamask.

Chrome is more secure than any other browser but recently it data was also leaked and 32 billion users were warned to update the Chrome immediately. Hacker stolen all email and other data. I am using Chrome and Edge for Metamask and other functions . You should also disconnect your Metamask wallet from all connected sites after you do transaction.

yes this is the best way to avoid hacking. so it doesn't matter to use chrome, egde, firefox or other browsers, as long as we disconnect the metamask access after we finish using it. and This is a safe way. but if you're still afraid, it's better not to use attention metamask, I suggest using the metask mobile application.

If you use Metamask then buy any Ledger or Trezor hardware wallet and any browser will be safe for you.Kinda worried because all of them try to collect information about your activities online.

All browsers are the same because it will depend on what you are visiting later. If you install Chrome only to be able to use Metamask and don't use it to visit sites on the internet, then you will be safe from phishing, scamming, trojan, or malware attacks likewise if you install Firefox or Brave.Kinda worried because all of them try to collect information about your activities online.

But if you use that browser to install Metamask and visit other sites, there will be opportunities for hackers to penetrate and enter your wallet through bugs in every browser or plugin. That's just a suggestion, and the rest is up to you.

Presently i will advised you to use Chrome browser, is the safest and the easiest browser to use both security aspect and fast browsing speed. Most at times you don't have enable autosave details; meaning do not allow the browser to collect and save your information automatically and you must make sure to enter your data personally instead choosing the popup saved details.

I have been using chrome for a few years and i never had anyproblem with chrome and probably the best browser for now, chrome is very responsive unlike another browser that exist in the internet. I think that if chrome was the best one to be used for the daily interaction with the dapps through metamask and i think that you can pick this one as your browser to be used for the metamask. in my opinion if this browser is worth to try. The second position must be mozilla firefox. I would not recommend you use brave caused by this browser is not safe at all. becareful when you are using brave browser.
I can't say which one is better in terms of security. But I always use it on chrome. The security of your computer is an important point here. If you cannot secure your personal computer, it will not matter in your browser. The metamask application already has a unique password for you. In addition, it receives approval for transactions made from you. If you do not give these necessary approvals, there will be no problems. But if you want great security, I recommend using ledger for it. Also, do not share your information with third parties.
I would suggest Mozilla Firefox. Why? It has a slight edge on Chrome for security and gets its patches more regularly and chrome is plagied with issues

What ever browser you use I think keep safety but virus depending when access do you open, usually if you active watching online movie with legal site you have possibility with your metamask is not safety. I think chrome browser keep safety trough you not approved swap with several dusting token received every time on your wallet, exactly dusting token always have with BSC network and give as much value when you try sell on pancake swap. another step how to protect your metamask wallet keep safety always access with legal website and never use VPN on your computer.
Firefox is the most privacy oriented browser among the three. Brave used to say they are about privacy but they do not really practice that after they have become "commercialized". Both Chrome and Brave are also built on Chromium which we know as developed by Google. Look up on what Google has done to user data over the years.

I don't think it doesn't matter at all, it's online wallet so the burden is on you on how to protect your mnemonic phrase and keys.

You can't really avoid it, everything in the net is trying to get data from us to sell something in the future.
But personally, I have been using Brave for the last year or so and I don't have any problems at all.

Brave. Something cool about it is that it has a built in crypto wallet, which is good if you're just using Ethereum. If you're using other chains though you need the opera crypto browser, which has a built in wallet that supports more chains and an included proxy. The opera browser is safer than the Brave one because brave Tor does not work with metamask or the crypto wallet unless you use a web wallet like Lumi and a token like 0xMR.

If there is only that option, it's actually safe on chrome or firefox if you only store assets on that one computer, and only store assets. If you are afraid of being hacked, don't use that one computer/device to browse anywhere, like a wallet that is used only if there is a need.
Yes both I think are unquestionable browsers and a lot of people have used them too,my own experience is using chrome and so far it's safe even though any browser i don't think there is any guarantee it won't be exploited or hacked,
so when using any browser we also need to be careful and always check it
