Exodus Browser Extension: Your Web3 Access Point, Refined

Bring the Beauty of Exodus to Your Browser

Meet the Exodus Wallet Browser Extension: your seamless, secure bridge between the decentralized web and your digital assets. Designed with the same elegance and intuition as our desktop and mobile apps, the extension puts the power of Exodus directly in your browser—where Web3 lives. Manage your portfolio, connect to dApps, and sign transactions without ever leaving your flow.

Whether you're trading on a DEX, exploring new protocols, or managing your NFT collection, the Exodus extension makes interacting with blockchain applications effortless, secure, and visually cohesive. Welcome to a smarter way to browse the decentralized internet.

Why the Exodus Extension Belongs in Your Browser

Designed for the Decentralized Web

The internet is evolving, and your tools should too. The Exodus extension is built specifically for how you use Web3 today: fluidly, frequently, and across countless sites. It removes the friction from dApp interactions while keeping you firmly in control.

Seamless Experience, Inside and Outside Your Wallet

One-Click dApp Connections: Securely connect to decentralized applications with a single approval
Unified Portfolio View: See your balances across chains without opening a separate app
In-Line Transaction Signing: Review and approve transactions directly in your browsing context
Multi-Chain by Default: Works natively with Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, and more
Visual Consistency: Enjoy the same beautiful Exodus design language right in your toolbar

Security That Doesn’t Slow You Down

We built the extension with the same security-first mindset as our flagship apps, but optimized for the pace of browser-based Web3. It protects your keys and your privacy without adding unnecessary steps.

Getting Started: Installed in Under a Minute

1. Install from Official Sources

Visit the Exodus website or directly access:

Chrome Web Store (for Chrome, Brave, Edge, and other Chromium browsers)
Firefox Add-ons (for Firefox browsers)

Only download from these official sources to avoid malicious imitations.

2. Setup or Connect Your Wallet

Upon installation, you have two options:

Create a New Wallet: Generate a new 12-word recovery phrase (if you’re new to Exodus)
Connect Existing Wallet: Seamlessly sync your desktop or mobile Exodus wallet using your existing recovery phrase

3. Explore Your Browser-Based Dashboard

Once set up, click the Exodus icon in your toolbar to open a compact, powerful view of your wallet featuring:

Your total portfolio value
Quick-access asset balances
Recent activity
Direct links to swap, stake, or explore dApps
Network selector for switching chains

4. Connect to Your First dApp

Navigate to any supported decentralized application (like Uniswap, OpenSea, or Aave). Look for the “Connect Wallet” button, select Exodus from the list, and approve the connection in the extension pop-up. You’re now ready to interact.

Features Designed for Web3 Natives

Multi-Chain dApp Interactions

Switch between Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and other supported networks directly from the extension. Your wallet automatically adapts to the chain the dApp requires.

Streamlined Transaction Approvals

When a dApp prompts you to send tokens, swap, or sign a message, a clear Exodus approval window appears. Review all details—amount, gas fees, recipient—before signing. No more intimidating, raw transaction data.

Integrated Portfolio Management

Need to quickly check your balance or send assets while browsing? The extension gives you full wallet functionality without opening a separate application. It’s your mini-Exodus on demand.

Enhanced Privacy Controls

Configure your privacy settings directly in the extension. Choose which sites can request connections, manage permissions per dApp, and control what information you share.

One-Click Asset Access

See your top assets at a glance and send them anywhere with just a few clicks. Perfect for tipping, quick purchases, or instant transfers while researching or browsing.

Security Model: Safe by Design

Non-Custodial at Its Core

Like all Exodus products, the extension is entirely non-custodial. Your private keys are encrypted and stored locally on your device. They never leave your browser or get transmitted to Exodus servers.

Key Security Features

Local Key Storage: Private keys are encrypted and stored only in your browser’s secure storage
Phishing Detection: Warnings appear if you attempt to connect to known malicious sites
Transparent Permissions: Clear explanations of what each dApp connection allows
Recovery Phrase Protection: Your phrase is only entered during setup—dApps never have access
Open Source Components: Critical security modules are open for community audit

Essential Safety Practices

Verify Website URLs before connecting your wallet
Never enter your recovery phrase on any website—even if it looks like Exodus
Use a dedicated browser profile for Web3 activities if possible
Keep your extension updated to the latest version
Log out of high-value dApps after your session

FAQs: Your Extension Questions Answered

Q1: Is the Exodus extension a separate wallet from my desktop/mobile Exodus?
No—it’s a new interface for the same wallet. Using your recovery phrase, you can sync the same wallet across desktop, mobile, and browser extension. All versions show the same balances and transaction history because they access the same blockchain addresses.

Q2: Can I use the extension without the desktop app?
Yes, absolutely. The extension is a fully functional wallet on its own. You can create a new wallet directly within the extension or connect an existing one. The desktop app is not required.

Q3: How do I recover my extension wallet if I clear my browser data?
Since your keys are stored locally in the browser, clearing data will remove your wallet access. This is why your 12-word recovery phrase is essential. Reinstall the extension and use “Restore from Recovery Phrase” to regain access. Your funds are always on the blockchain, safe.

Q4: Does the extension support all the same assets as the Exodus desktop app?
The extension supports all major assets for dApp interactions (ETH, MATIC, BNB, etc.). For full portfolio management of 250+ assets, we recommend using the extension alongside the desktop or mobile app for the complete Exodus experience.

Q5: Is it safe to leave the extension logged in?
The extension is designed for convenience but employs multiple security layers. For optimal safety on shared computers, we recommend logging out when not actively using dApps. On personal devices, the extension’s local encryption provides strong protection.

Q6: What should I do if a dApp isn’t detecting my Exodus extension?
First, ensure the dApp supports WalletConnect or MetaMask-style connections (most do). Try these steps:

Refresh the dApp page
Ensure you’re on the correct network in the extension
Check if the site requires you to select “MetaMask” as the connection type (the Exodus extension often appears as MetaMask to dApps)
Restart your browser
