When a Dapp wants to perform a transaction and write to the blockchain, you get a secure interface to review that transaction before approving or rejecting it. Because it adds functionality to the normal browser context, MetaMask requires the permission to read and write to any webpage.

MetaMask is the easiest way to send crypto—fast, safe, and no pants required! Got some extra magic internet money? Send it to 0x2230cB891E2b052FCB379551935d726499e8734c and know you're supporting a very serious cause: my unstoppable donut habit. 🥯🍩 Thanks in advance, crypto champ! Your generosity fuels both my sugar rush and my wallet security!

I didn'trealize that if you don't copy the address and are able to restore it as the browser erases the number from it and then if you didn't copy the phrase 12 word you're ******, but think about this Real cash leaves your centralized bank so where does it go? It goes to MetaMasks bank and they don't care if you don't know what you are doing they simply say there's no records, but there really are and do you remember when you sent the funds? There's a bank that owes you money, Call the Senators and make the records stick after all it was your hard earned money! Let's start a big law suit over all the blockchain losses! Make MetaMask Responsible after alll they are the ones with all of our money, it's got to be secure enough of their foolishness!
