Google Chrome is a very lightweight and easy-to-use open source Web browser by Google Inc. It was first released as a beta version on September 2, 2008 for the Windows platform. In December 2009 it was ported on Mac, and today is the most dynamically growing web-browser by the usage share worldwide.

Even though it came into being a lot later than the popular Bitcoin in 2014, Ethereum is arguably the second most successful cryptocurrency to date.

If you're thinking of getting into Ethereum trading then, of course, you're probably on the lookout for convenient and secure solutions that can help you perform transactions and possibly even develop, manage or run Ethereum dApps. If you're unfamiliar with the term, dApp stands from (blockchain) Decentralized Application, most of which are currently built on top of Ethereum.

Having said all that, there's a good chance you'll find MetaMask to be quite interesting as this extension basically transforms your favorite browsers into an Ethereum browser, all while allowing you to manage identities and perform crypto-transactions. It's available for Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and even Microsoft Edge.

What this extensions is, how to install and use it, as well as what it do for you

If you're a Chrome user, then you can head over to the Chrome Web Store and install MetaMask with the least amount of hassle, just like any other extension. Once you start MetaMask for Chrome and you've undergone the simple process of creating (or restoring) one or multiple accounts, you'll surely notice that this extension looks and works like a typical Ethereum wallet application, meaning you can send and receive Ether with the utmost ease.

It's worth pointing out that MetaMask is quite thoughtful when it comes to security and, therefore, all your account vaults are locally encrypted and stored in your computer's Chrome browser.

In addition, you're provided with the possibility of switching between various Ethereum networks such as the Main Ethereum Network, the Ropsten Test Network, Kovan Test Network, Rinkeby Test Network. Last but not least, please note that you're also able to point the extension to your localhost or custom RPC server thus being able to control the blockchain connection thoroughly.

However, this is part of the story since MetaMask's main highlight stems from the fact that it enhances your browser's functionality so that you can visit Etheurem-enabled websites, the so-called dApps, virtually smoothening out the whole communication procedure between an Ethereum dApp and a trusted Ethereum provider.

MetaMask - helping you pave the the way to new blockchain-enabled websites using your favorite browser as the main tool for doing so

To conclude, MetaMask for Chrome is a very useful tool that is bound to come in handy to every user looking to create or manage blockchain-enabled (more specifically, Ethereum-enabled) websites.
