I prefer using metamask extension,you can easily create wallets using this extension,it is acting as a browser protection as the same time it encrypts your private keys using the mask,you wont need to put your private keys manually when you are using decentralized exchanges which is why it is much safer than any other wallet,you can also import your existing mew wallet to your metamask.
+1 for metamask extension,it is the perfect wallet alternative for myetherwallet,metamask can also be used together with mew,or in a hardwallet like ledger nano s or trezor which is why it is recommended to use this extension as it is an added protection to your wallet,can act as phishing blocking extension and at the same time,a wallet for erc20 tokens and ethereum.
