Metamask is the wallet with the lowest barrier to entry for new folks entering the crypto space. Going from no knowledge to having a wallet is much quicker with metamask than hardware wallet.

Its also great for devs deploying contracts on test networks.

I, for one, am able to access sites without disclosing my identity at all.

I paid for a membership to icy.tools the other day entirely with my metamask account and without using any email/phone number at all

I’d be very, very happy if every site in the world had a “connect with metamask” button where I could log in completely anonymously

I'm one of them, used years ago to test some development on the Blockchain and now I use it mainly as wallet for some small holdings that I've in few tokens

I use it to hold a fair amount of my crypto holdings. I personally don't spend crypto particularly often but I have a friend who uses crypto whenever he can, if you go a bit out of your way you can do a lot of your purchases that way. The metamask UX is nice and pancakeswap integration is useful too. Wish it supported Solana.

I imagine the audience crossover between crypto and HN is quite high.

I use it via Firefox.
