| May 4, 2021 at 10:00 | comment | added | a-fro | @MarekMahut-StakeNuts I understand that the page is about Daedalus, but that's part of what's confusing. It's called "Cybersecurity Guidelines for Cardano Users", is written by IOHK, only discusses Daedalus, and recommends "If possible, have a dedicated machine for your cryptocurrency activities...Ideally, you won’t use that machine to surf the web, read emails, download software, etc." If I'm not a security expert, but trying to understand how to be safe with my Ada, this page and its advice confuses me in relationship to the support recommendation to install Yoroi in a browser. | |

| May 2, 2021 at 10:26 | comment | added | a-fro | You make interesting points about browser extension sandboxing. Thanks for the useful info. It still seems there is a contradiction between the cybersecurity guidelines page for Cardano (and general safety recommendations I see around the web), and the recommendation to install a wallet via a browser extension. | |
| May 1, 2021 at 17:14 | comment | added | Marek Mahut - StakeNuts | My argument was mostly around the fact, that the browser extension is sandboxed. If he is using the Yoroi official website, the user should be fine, which cannot be said about the official iOS app store, that has recently officially approved and listed a scam Trezor application and someone lost $1M+ of BTC to it. coingeek.com/man-loses-btc-worth-1m-to-fake-trezor-app | |
| May 1, 2021 at 13:15 | comment | added | DaedelusDaemon | I'm not too sure about this. iOS has a ton of control around it, whereas the user can install any browser extension and the browser is exposed to much more than a standard app. All code in the iOS app/browser extension being equal. iOS apps are probably closest to a hardware wallet you can get (assuming the device is not rooted). I'm not an iOS or Apple user myself. | |
