Remember that MetaMask is a centralised front-end used to access decentralised networks.
They can and as it seems, probably do, whatever they want with the data you give them by installing their software.
I have no doubt on this
What's your wallet of choice to access Cub?
Doesn't this make DeBank or Rabby centralized front-ends to access decentralized networks also?
And if MetaMask is a centralized front-end used to access a decentralized network, how does that make it better than being at a CEX?
Think about it the same way as using LeoFinance or PeakD to access your Hive account.
Front-ends can do a lot of dodgy shit, but if you don't trust them, you can choose to use others to access your wallet & interact with the blockchain.
When in CEX, I hold only login id and password. (Pure shit). Not #privatekeys anymore. When using #Metamask, my #privatekey can still be with me. In #hardware #wallet
That's the bottom line, isn't it? Control of the private keys (or seed phrase).
Once again, we're reminded to always be vigilant and to read the fine print.
