MetaMask, the popular cryptocurrency wallet extension, has recently announced the release of its v10.33 update, introducing several significant improvements to enhance the user experience. With these changes, MetaMask aims to make its wallet extension simpler, cleaner, and more intuitive than ever before.
Upon opening the MetaMask wallet extension, users will immediately notice a crisper layout, providing a refreshing visual experience. Previously, the wallet address, connection status, network selection, and account selection were displayed across two top rows. However, with the v10.33 update, MetaMask has condensed all these elements into a single top row. This design choice reduces visual noise and allows users to access all the necessary information at a quick glance.
One of the notable enhancements in this update is the improved visibility and management of site connections. MetaMask has moved the site connections feature to the top right corner of the interface, making it easier for users to view and control the decentralized applications (dapps) that their wallet is interacting with. This enhancement streamlines the process of granting permissions and provides users with a clearer understanding of the websites they are connecting to.
In response to user feedback, MetaMask has made important adjustments to minimize confusion. The account selection has been separated from the global menu navigation and now includes an account avatar placed next to the account name. This simple yet effective change strengthens the visual association between users and their identities, leading to increased awareness and confidence when engaging with dapps.

Furthermore, MetaMask has relocated the network selector to the top left corner within the header. Each network is now associated with its respective token, facilitating easier differentiation between different chains and promoting user safety. This unique pairing of networks and tokens not only enhances usability but also emphasizes MetaMask’s commitment to fostering safe and secure web3 habits.
