Self-custody browser extensions are the primary gateway to DeFi and on-chain interactions.
1. Contenders
2. Security & Simulation
Rabby simulates every transaction prior to signature, displaying real-time balance changes and flagging malicious smart contract interactions. MetaMask requires third-party plugins (Snaps) to achieve similar transaction preview functionality.
3. Multi-Chain Ergonomics
Rabby automatically switches networks based on the dApp being accessed, eliminating manual RPC toggling.
4. Verdict
Rabby Wallet wins on security alerts, pre-signing simulation, and native multi-chain convenience.
