Coinbase Chrome extension is a new wallet extension for Chrome browser to quickly and easily access your Coinbase wallet on your browser without logging into your Coinbase account directly.
The Coinbase wallet Chrome extension makes it easy to connect to decentralize apps (Dapps) and Decentralize Finance (DeFi) on your computer desktop without the fear of a bridge in your secure connection.
The Coinbase cryptocurrency chrome extension eases the stress of accessing the desktop application by scanning the application QR code with your mobile phone before you can log in.
However, the new Coinbase Google Chrome extension makes it easy to access Dapps on the platform once you have connected your Coinbase wallet to the extension.
The Coinbase extension works the same way the Coinbase website works where you will have access to all the cryptocurrencies, trading on Decentralize exchange (DEXes), earning your interest as well as collect NFTs.
With the Coinbase Chrome extension, you can link your Coinbase wallet to the Chrome extension to perform tasks involving buy and transfer of cryptocurrency that you will use in DeFi without leaving your wallet on the extension.
