Pre-transaction risk scanning
Before you confirm, the extension surfaces warnings about contracts with questionable behaviour, so a suspicious approval is easier to spot and cancel.
Browser-based Web3 wallet
Rabby Wallet Extension — a calmer way to browse Web3
Rabby Wallet extension is a browser-based Web3 wallet that helps users connect with dApps, review transactions, manage assets, and explore blockchain services — all from one toolbar icon instead of a drawer full of tabs.
- Built for Ethereum and EVM networks
- Self-custody: your keys stay with you
- Free browser extension
What the Rabby Wallet extension actually does
Rabby Wallet extension lives inside your browser and speaks the same language as every decentralized application you open. When a site asks for a connection or a signature, the extension appears with the details in plain language rather than a wall of raw data. You approve, reject, or step away — the decision stays yours.
The part most people notice first is network handling. Decentralized finance spans many EVM chains, and a transaction sent on the wrong one fails and still costs fees. The extension recognises the network a site expects and offers to move you there, so you spend your attention on the trade, mint, or swap instead of on chain bookkeeping.
It is also a portfolio in miniature: balances, tokens, and recent activity sit behind the same icon, which makes it easy to check what a wallet holds before you sign anything from it.
Features people use every day
The extension is deliberately quiet. What it adds is context: what a request does, what it costs, and where it happens.
Balance changes up front
See which assets leave your wallet and which arrive, with amounts and fees, before the signature leaves your device.
Multi-chain without the shuffle
Ethereum and other EVM-compatible networks are handled in one place, and the extension proposes the right chain when a dApp asks for it.
Multiple accounts, one view
Keep separate accounts for testing, daily use, or long-term holdings, and switch between them without reinstalling anything.
Hardware wallet support
Connect a hardware signer when you want a second pair of hands on the final approval of a high-value transaction.
Open source, documented
The project is published openly, and the official documentation explains how developers can support it in their own applications.
How to install the Rabby Wallet extension
Always start from an official source. The steps below use the publisher’s own store listing, which is the safest place to begin.
- Open the official listing. Use the store link further down this page, or the Rabby website, and confirm the publisher before you continue.
- Add it to your browser. Choose “Add to Chrome” (or the equivalent for a Chromium-based browser) and approve the installation prompt.
- Create a wallet or import one. You can start fresh or bring in an existing seed phrase. Either way, the recovery phrase is generated or entered locally on your device.
- Write the recovery phrase down. Store it offline, never as a screenshot in your photos or a note in your email. Anyone holding that phrase controls the wallet.
- Pin it and connect a dApp. Pin the icon to your toolbar, open a decentralized application, and approve the connection when the prompt appears.
Is the Rabby Wallet extension safe to use?
No browser wallet can make a bad decision safe, but the right habits remove most of the risk. Read every confirmation screen, especially approvals that grant spending permission, and treat unexpected airdrops and urgent messages as bait until proven otherwise.
Because the extension is self-custodial, nobody can freeze or recover the wallet for you. That is the point: the authority is yours, and so is the responsibility. Keep the recovery phrase offline, use a hardware signer for large amounts, and download updates only from official sources.

Rabby Wallet extension FAQ
Yes. The extension is free to download and use. You still pay the network fees that every blockchain transaction requires, and those are charged by the network, not by the wallet.
Two or more browser wallets can be installed at once. When a site asks which one to use, pick the wallet you want for that session, and confirm that the address shown matches the one you expect.
There is no reset link. A self-custodial wallet can only be restored with its recovery phrase, which is why storing it offline on paper or metal matters more than any other setting.
