Find a browser extension
Look for Cardano wallet browser extensions in the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons. Some popular browser extension options are listed below;
Eternal - https://ccvault.io/, Lace - https://www.lace.io/, Flint - https://flint-wallet.com/, Vesper - https://vespr.xyz/
Install the browser extension
Once you have found a browser extension you would like to use, click on the "Add to Chrome" or "Add to Firefox" button to install it.
Create a new wallet
After installing the browser extension, you will need to create a new wallet. This involves entering a password and creating a seed phrase. Make sure to keep this seed phrase in a safe and secure place.
Backup your wallet
After creating your wallet, you will need to backup the seed phrase. This is important in case you lose access to your wallet or your computer crashes.
Receive ADA To receive ADA, you'll need to share your wallet's address with the sender. This can be done by clicking on the browser extension icon, then on the "Receive" tab and then sharing the address of your wallet (usually starting with 'addr'.
Send ADA To send ADA, you'll click on the browser extension icon, then on the "Send" tab, enter the recipient's address, and then specify the amount of ADA you would like to send.
Browser extensions do not have the same level of security as hardware wallets or software wallets installed on a personal computer, so you should always be careful when using them and not store large amounts of ADA in them.
