Key Points:
- MetaMask’s newest update improves mobile app load speed, browser navigation, and account connection, while wallet extensions increase the integration experience with additional privacy options to prevent data leakage.
- The project is committed to bringing “true ownership and privacy” to users.
With its most recent version, cryptocurrency wallet MetaMask made a few critical privacy enhancements and improved mobile app loading speed.
With MetaMask Mobile, users may move between their wallet and browser with a single touch, thanks to an updated user experience. Also, there is greater flexibility and transparency when selecting which user accounts to connect to or disengage from dApps.
When MetaMask users linked to cryptocurrency apps in the past, it would link all of their accounts together, even if they meant to keep them separate. While connecting to programs, it will now keep accounts distinct, and these connections will even be preserved in different browser tabs.
The upgrade also reduces the amount of data provided to third-party services that are utilized to operate the wallet extension.
When establishing a MetaMask wallet, the wallet now prompts for confirmation of the first three words of the Secret Recovery Phrase (SRP), you may choose any RPC provider during the rollout, and you can choose not to default join Infura, a provider controlled by ConenSys, which also owns MetaMask.
Moreover, under the “Advanced configuration” options, users may stop specific functions of sending queries to third-party APIs, giving them greater control over their data.
Also, the project says it will take “true ownership and privacy” as its core value for improvement.
“We believe that part of the value MetaMask offers is the freedom to exit the product anytime. Self-custody means you truly control your private key, and can import that private key to any wallet interface that supports the standard Secret Recovery Phrase (SRP).
We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users so that you will not, and ultimately, cannot be exploited by yet another centralized entity.”
The MetaMask cross-chain bridge aggregator added network and bridge compatibility for two more important networks last month. For the popular online wallet, MetaMask Bridges now supports a total of six bridge networks (Ethereum, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism).
