Malicious browser extensions

Fake or hijacked browser add-ons that can read the pages you open and change what is on them.

What it means

They can swap the address you send to or show a pop-up asking for your seed phrase, which a real wallet does not do.

What to watch

Copies with the same name from another publisher, new permissions after an update and unexpected seed phrase requests; installing only from the official store link and keeping few extensions helps.
