Coinbase® Extension®

Coinbase Extension: Your passport to seamless crypto management. Buy, sell, and stay updated on market trends directly from your browser.

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Coinbase offers a browser extension called "Coinbase Wallet" that allows users to manage their cryptocurrencies directly through their web browser. If there have been updates or changes since then, you may want to refer to the latest documentation provided by Coinbase.

Here's a general guide on getting started with the Coinbase Wallet extension:

Getting Started with Coinbase Wallet Extension:

   • Locate the official Coinbase Wallet extension and click on "Add to Chrome" or "Add to Firefox" to install it.

2. Open Coinbase Wallet Extension:

   • After installation, you should see the Coinbase Wallet extension icon in the top-right corner of your browser.
