A browser extension is a small software program that adds specific features to a web browser. For digital asset users, these extensions often function as non-custodial wallets, enabling direct interaction with decentralized applications (dApps) and blockchain networks from within the browser environment. They facilitate transaction signing, asset management, and connectivity to Web3 services without requiring a full node setup. Their utility is paramount for accessibility and user experience in the decentralized web.

Discussions often focus on security vulnerabilities associated with compromised extensions or phishing attempts targeting users. A critical area of development involves enhancing the security models and user-friendliness of these tools to prevent unauthorized access and improve overall digital asset safety.
