I'm a newbie with some technical skills, but not a lot.
Should I be using MetaMask for added security?
What does MetaMask do for me, exactly?

Also, MetaMask seems to only work for Ethereum-based coins.  Is there an extension like MetaMask available for the other coins?

Be sure to use MetaMask when trading on EthreDelta. This will keep your coins safe!

MetaMask has additional levels of security and excellent protection against phishing. I use google extension, and it's easy to use software for me.

When using any wallet, one must be guided by common sense and security policy. And then your coins will be all right. Metamask is a good wallet. But if you do something stupid in terms of security, then it will not protect your savings.

With MetaMask, you can send the eth without entering a private key on the official MEW website.
MetaMask also helps you track transactions and tokens.
With it, you can access the MEW website without entering a password from your wallet.

Metamask is useful in case of keyloger atack. But in case of using other softwares it wouldn't help you. Be careful and everything will be good with you and your earnings. It is the only, that can really save it.

An investor who wants to make money on the ETH blockchain should start to use MetaMask, which to meet the safety and speed requirements. There is no alternative to this at the moment.

Its definitely a good step in the right direction to use metamask because, it dosen't only serve as a wallet, but it protects you from phishing websites.

I use metamask to trade on Idex and Etherdelta as it protects my wallet. Some sites would ask you to provide your private keys but with metamask, you can use it in such sites if you are trading an an ERC20 token.

Yes, you should use it!

MetaMask is more than just an Ether wallet. It's an Ethereum Browser, like Mist! It allows you all the same functions, features, and ease of access from regular Ethereum Wallets, and it allows you to interact with Dapps and Smart Contracts, and all without the need to download the blockchain or install any software, you can just install it as a Google Chrome Extension! Plus, it has a cool fox logo that follows your mouse around, which made us smile.

MetaMask includes a secure identity vault, providing a user interface to manage your identities on different sites and sign blockchain transactions.

If you talk about metamask and mew and think they are secure then you are a noob.

Just pay 100$ for a hardware wallet.

Metasmak is very good. There is nothing to blame for it. It helps you block attacks and protect your tokens

you must always use Metamask where its required.
I am mostly using Metamask while I trade on ETH based DEX like etherdelta, etc.
Pros of using metamask:
Your private key remains with you in your browser and is never shared with exchanges.
Usually they have a list of phishing websites maintained under radar, so if you mistakenly visit any sch website, it warns you and save you from getting hacked.

Cons:
Only for ETH based tokens
Do not have 2FA

I have never used MetaMask before for me MyEtherWallet (MEW) is best and I am using it for last one year and its good and secure for me and if you like MetaMask then you can use it but if you want to use something else I will recommend you to use My Ether Wallet its also a good wallet and it is also based on Ethereum Based Tokens just keep your private keys secure then you are safe.
Everyone has their own preference. I use both MEW and MM so I can say, I like MM than MEW.

Yes, of course you can use it. You can also sync or connect it to your MEW account. It is secure, but if you like more security I prefer using a hard wallet like trezor or ledger.

You don't have to use it, you will be fine without it if you know what you're doing. It's just an extra security layer.
