I have seen this version before, but I did not download it and i went to the main site.
Unfortunately, Google's store has not checked the applications and programs that come down on it and this is one of its weaknesses. so Be careful when you downloading any application from it.

Don't download this as it is not the original metamask.

Shitstorm incoming for google.
They should be held accountable for people losing funds as a result of how poorly this situation (initiated by google) was managed.

I guess they have all the legal disclaimers needed to cover their asses when you download those extensions.

Unfortunately beside providing free services above average, they mainly care about making money out of you using them.

You are probably right, however if the right person got burnt by that we might see a class action.
Damn I hate google.

They delete it because a lot of fake extension come out as Metamask so it could harm their user or make the people loss their money.

They deleted the original because there are many fake versions?
Makes perfect sense hey.

we are safe if we already had metamask, right?
Yes. You only risked your coins if you installed the fake extension that appeared in the store.
