Installing the MetaMask browser extension is a simple process. Here's a step-by-step guide for different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, etc.):

Steps to Install MetaMask Extension
1. Visit the Official MetaMask Website
Go to the official MetaMask website: https://metamask.io

2. Download MetaMask
Click on "Download" (top-right corner).

Select your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, etc.).

3. Install the Extension
For Chrome/Brave/Edge (Chromium-based browsers):

Click "Add to Chrome" (or "Add to Brave/Edge").

Confirm by clicking "Add Extension".

For Firefox:

Click "Add to Firefox".

Confirm by clicking "Add".

4. Set Up MetaMask
Once installed, the MetaMask icon (🦊) will appear in your browser’s extensions bar.

Click on it and choose "Get Started".

You can either:

Create a New Wallet (recommended if you're new).

Import an Existing Wallet (if you have a recovery phrase).

5. Secure Your Wallet
If creating a new wallet:

Set a strong password.

Back up your Secret Recovery Phrase (12-word phrase) and store it securely (never share it!).

Confirm the recovery phrase to complete setup.

If importing an existing wallet:

Enter your 12 or 24-word recovery phrase.

Set a new password.

6. Start Using MetaMask
You can now connect to Ethereum-based dApps, manage tokens, and send/receive crypto.

Important Security Tips
✅ Only download MetaMask from the official website (metamask.io)—avoid fake versions!
✅ Never share your Secret Recovery Phrase—MetaMask will never ask for it.
✅ Bookmark the extension to avoid phishing sites.
