WORK IN PROGRESS! This is a draft, the stupid Steemit doesn't allow saving drafts. Please don't vote yet. I'm working on it.
Ethereum ecosystem has three sweethearts that connect owners of ETH and websites/dApps seamlessly:
- MetaMask - a browser extension
- Brave - an ad-blocking browser that ships with MetaMask
- CipherBrowser - a browser that runs on your iOS and Android mobile devices
What all three have in common? They all provide safe and user-friendly Ethereum wallets and saves you from memorising private/public keys. They also allow you to send ETH, and sign smart contracts, hence interacting with dApps (trading on EtherDelta, playing CryptoKitties, writing post on Leeroy.io, etc.). They all give you 12 word mnemonic for keeping your wallet safe and can be used for account recovery.
The teams behind the products have their source code reviewed and audited for security because keeping user funds safe is paramount. The good news is all of the are free and MetaMask & Brave are open source. CipherBrowser team is considering to open source their browser.
