How to get the latest version of the MetaMask Chrome extension?

 


Have you recently started facing technical glitches while using your MetaMask wallet on the Chrome web browser? If that is the case, it could happen due to various factors acting upon this. Based on the research that I conducted, I found out that the main reason why you are facing issues with your wallet is that you have not updated the MetaMask Chrome extension for a long now. Apart from that, there are many other responsible factors as well. In case your device is not connected to proper internet connectivity or your web browser is outdated, then you will not be able to use MetaMask properly.

Though you must have tried some easy resolutions already, I am sure you might have failed in your attempts. So, what do you think you are going to do in that situation? Well, in my opinion, there is one more thing you can try. Yes, the best thing you can do is install the latest version of the MetaMask Chrome extension on your device.

Method 1- Updating the extension 

The first thing that you can do is update the extension that is already there on your device. If you do not know how to update the extension, then you just need to right-click on the "MetaMask" entry in your toolbar and then select the "Manage extensions" option. Right after that, you will see the extension page in your web browser. When you are on the extensions page, enable the developer mode. Once done with that, you can choose the "Update" option present next to the "MetaMask" entry. In just a few minutes, the extension will refresh and the update will be available soon.

Method 2- Install the latest version from the official website 

The second thing that you can try to get the latest version of MetaMask installed is to remove the existing version of MetaMask and then install the latest one. To initiate the process, you first need to remove the extension and then follow the process:  

  1. Go to the https://metamask.io/ website

  2. After this, select the "Download" option

  3. After that, select the Chrome browser icon

  4. This will help you get the latest MetaMask Chrome extension

  5. Select the "Install MetaMask for Chrome"

  6. When the Chrome Web Store opens, select "Add to Chrome"

  7. Right after that, select the "Add extension"

  8. In a few seconds, the Chrome extension will be added to your web browser

Conclusion: 

If you do not wish to come across any technical glitches during your journey with the MetaMask Chrome extension, then you need to make sure that you always use its most updated version. In case you do not know what you should do to update the extension, then this guide will surely help you in your endeavor. In case the first method does not work, then you should check out the second method and apply the given steps easily. However, during the procedure make sure that your device is connected to a strong internet connection. If nothing helps, clear off the browser cache and cookies and try again later.
