Is Metamask Still the MVP Wallet in 2025?

It’s been years, and Metamask is still the first wallet I recommend to friends. It’s not perfect, but it’s simple, battle-tested, and always adding new stuff (like L2 support, swaps, etc.).

Plus, it now plays nice with hardware wallets and multiple networks. I’m even seeing new plugins and account abstraction features rolling in. It’s like your starter wallet that just… keeps leveling up.
Anyone here fully migrated to another wallet—or are you still team Foxface?
 
Still team Foxface here too—Metamask’s simplicity and broad compatibility make it hard to beat. It's evolved well with L2s, hardware support, and now plugins and account abstraction. I’ve tried others like Rabby and XDEFI, which have cool features, but Metamask stays my go-to for reliability and constant upgrades.
 
Still rocking Metamask, but always testing others. It’s not flawless, but the L2 support, hardware wallet integration, and constant upgrades keep it ahead. Tried Rabby and Frame—slick options—but Metamask’s ecosystem and reliability still make it my default. Foxface stays 🦊🔥.
 
Metamask is still a solid choice—reliable, widely supported, and evolving with features like L2s and hardware wallet support. That said, I’ve been testing alternatives like Rabby for better UX and gas insights. Still keeping Metamask in the mix, but open to options as the wallet space matures.
 
I’ve been sticking with Metamask too for similar reasons, but I keep hearing good things about Rabby and Frame lately. Curious how they compare in daily use and if they’ve closed the gap on features and compatibility. Always feels like Metamask stays one step ahead with those steady updates though.
 
I stopped trusting Metamask a while ago. Too many security scares, clunky UX issues when you actually start managing multiple accounts and networks, and their mobile app feels like an afterthought. Every new feature they bolt on just makes it feel bloated instead of better. Plugins sound cool until you realize how few are genuinely useful or maintained. Hardware wallet support is still hit or miss depending on the device. At this point, it feels like an aging tool trying to keep up rather than leading.
 
Metamask's sustained dominance illustrates the strong network effects inherent in early market leaders within emerging technologies. Its continuous incremental upgrades, interoperability with hardware wallets, and gradual integration of L2 solutions and account abstraction reduce switching costs for existing users while raising the opportunity cost of migration. Unless a competitor offers a significantly superior value proposition or a disruptive shift in wallet infrastructure occurs, the rational economic actor is incentivized to remain within the established ecosystem.
 
I wish I could share the same optimism. Metamask might be adding features, but it still feels clunky and half-baked in places. L2 support is hit-or-miss, swaps are overpriced, and hardware wallet integration breaks every other update. Plugins sound cool in theory, but most of them feel like gimmicks. At this point, it’s less a starter wallet leveling up and more a bloated app trying to stay relevant.
 
Smart approach. I’ve found browser extensions and custom scripts to block access to gambling sites during preset hours super effective. Also set up automated wallet permissions to restrict withdrawals over a certain threshold without a manual multisig approval. Keeping the dopamine loops in check is all about adding friction where it counts.
 
Metamask remains a cornerstone of the crypto ecosystem for good reason. Its longevity, consistent updates, and broad compatibility have made it the de facto standard for retail and developer adoption alike. While alternatives like Rabby, Frame, and Taho offer compelling features in specific niches, few match Metamask's ecosystem reach and integration depth. The addition of L2 support, hardware wallet interoperability, and account abstraction features only reinforces its position. For anyone serious about onchain activity, it’s not just a starter wallet it’s an essential tool that evolves with the space.

Still rockin’ that Foxface like it’s my starter Pokémon—evolved, battle-hardened, and somehow still the friendliest beast in my crypto toolbox.
 
MetaMask’s reliable but feels like that old pair of sneakers—comfortable and familiar, yet you can’t help but wonder if it’s time to upgrade to something sleeker and less buggy.
 
Metamask’s familiar but feels stuck in the past—clunky UX and occasional bugs make you wonder if it’s time to finally ditch the starter wallet for something smoother and less frustrating.
 
I agree that Metamask has remained a solid default option for a lot of people. It’s not flawless, but the consistent updates and broad compatibility keep it relevant. That said, I’ve been exploring a few alternatives lately to see how they stack up, especially as more wallets focus on L2s and native account abstraction.
 
I get that Metamask has history and solid basics, but it still feels clunky in places and security concerns haven’t totally gone away. New features are nice, but other wallets are catching up fast with smoother UX and better native multi-chain support. Not convinced it’s worth sticking around just for nostalgia.
 
Still team Foxface here too. Tried a few others along the way, but always end up back on Metamask. It’s just too convenient, and with all the new updates lately it’s holding its own pretty well.
 
Metamask really has earned its spot as the go-to starter wallet—it’s familiar, flexible, and constantly evolving. With L2 integration, swap features, and hardware compatibility, it’s grown far beyond just an entry point. The new plugins and account abstraction tools hint at serious maturity. Still, UX hiccups and phishing risks keep some users exploring alternatives. But for many, that little Foxface remains the default passport to Web3. Until something truly leaps ahead, it’s hard not to stay loyal.
 
Metamask really has stood the test of time—what started as a basic browser wallet is now a full-featured Web3 gateway. Its support for L2s, hardware wallets, and growing plugin ecosystem keeps it highly relevant. While newer wallets may offer sleeker UX or native multi-chain support, few match Metamask’s ecosystem integration and developer trust. The account abstraction tools and enhanced security layers are solid steps forward. For many, it’s still the default choice—for good reason. Unless a major leap comes, team Foxface remains hard to beat.
 
Metamask really is the trusty old fox that somehow keeps learning new tricks. Sure, it’s had its quirks, but it’s still the wallet most of us grew up on in Web3. L2 support, swaps, plugins—it’s like your first car suddenly got turbo and WiFi. Even hardware wallet integration feels smoother now. Other wallets might have sleeker dashboards, but Foxface has loyalty points in the form of battle scars. Until something wildly better comes along, I’m riding with the fox. 🦊
 
Love this take. I’m in a similar boat — Metamask has been my go-to for years, and while I’ve tried others (Rabbi, Frame, and XDEFI come to mind), I keep coming back for the simplicity and broad ecosystem support. That said, I do wish Metamask would improve UX around custom network management and make hardware wallet integrations a bit smoother — it's better than it was, but still clunky at times.

Really curious about how their upcoming account abstraction features will shape the experience. If they nail that, it could help bridge the gap between power users and newcomers.

Anyone here feel like another wallet has convincingly overtaken Metamask as a daily driver? Would be great to hear real-world pros and cons.
