As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, the process of setting up the Coinbase Wallet browser extension on Google Chrome involves the following steps. Please note that the steps might have changed, and it's always a good idea to refer to the latest documentation provided by Coinbase.

Here's a general guide to setting up the Coinbase Wallet extension on Chrome:

  1. Install Coinbase Wallet Extension:

    • Open the Chrome Web Store in your Google Chrome browser.

    • Search for "Coinbase Wallet" in the search bar.

    • Find the official Coinbase Wallet extension and click on "Add to Chrome" to install the extension.

  2. Add to Chrome and Confirm Installation:

    • Click "Add Extension" on the confirmation dialog that appears after you click "Add to Chrome."

    • The Coinbase Wallet extension will be added to your browser.

  3. Open Coinbase Wallet Extension:

    • Locate the Coinbase Wallet icon in the top-right corner of your Chrome browser (next to the address bar).

    • Click on the Coinbase Wallet icon to open the extension.

  4. Create a New Wallet:

    • If you don't have a Coinbase Wallet, you will need to create one.

    • Follow the on-screen instructions to set up a new wallet. This may involve choosing a wallet name, setting a password, and saving a recovery phrase.

  5. Backup Your Wallet:

    • It's crucial to back up your wallet's recovery phrase. This phrase is used to recover your wallet if you lose access to your device.

    • Write down the recovery phrase and store it in a secure place. Do not share it with anyone.

  6. Explore Features:

    • Once your wallet is set up, you can explore its features, such as sending and receiving cryptocurrencies, viewing transaction history, and managing wallet settings.

  7. Connect to Coinbase.com (Optional):

    • The Coinbase Wallet extension can often be linked or connected to your Coinbase.com account. This facilitates the transfer of funds between your Coinbase account and your wallet.

    • Check the extension settings for options to connect to your Coinbase account.

  8. Security Measures:

    • Enhance the security of your wallet by enabling any additional security features, such as two-factor authentication (2FA).

Always follow any specific instructions provided during the installation and setup process. If you encounter any issues or have questions, consult the official Coinbase documentation or reach out to Coinbase support for assistance.
