Re: Web Browsers begun to have inbuilt Cryptocurrency Wallets
I still can't believe that Bitcoin hasn't gotten a web browser wallet that can log you into websites using your Bitcoin address the way that metamask (and now others) has been adopted by the web3 community. Shocking nobody has built it yet. Almost even a little disgraceful that we aren't logging into this website by signing a message with our wallets or something.
Actually there's a couple. Development on the first once started years back. They're not very popular but they do exist.
The one I use is called Freeport. Looks like it was last updated in Oct 2022. Its a Chrome extension that uses the Counterparty API (its more for collectibles but doubles as a BTC wallet):
There's a couple other Counterparty projects where you can log into a site by signing a message from your registered address, but as far as general Bitcoin stuff goes, yeah nobody uses it like Metamask.
