MetaMask vs Rabby
The incumbent versus the safety re-think. Rabby's whole thesis is that MetaMask shows you too little before you sign — so it previews what a transaction will actually do, flags risky approvals, and auto-switches chains. MetaMask counters with universal support: every dApp tests against it. Rabby is the power-user's pick for transaction safety; MetaMask is the thing everything works with.

FAQ
Which is more secure, MetaMask or Rabby?
Both keep private keys off your internet-connected devices, which is the security property that matters most. The differences above — secure-element certification, open-source firmware, air-gapping — are about which residual risks each design chooses to eliminate. For nearly everyone, either beats any software-only setup.
Where should I buy whichever I choose?
Only from the manufacturer or an authorised retailer — never marketplace resellers, where tampered devices are a documented attack. Our individual reviews link the official stores.
Do I still need an exchange account?
Yes — wallets store crypto; they don't convert Australian dollars. The usual flow is buying on an AUSTRAC-registered exchange, then withdrawing to your wallet. Our migration checklist covers doing that safely, test transaction included.
