Metamask Developers have Restored support for Ledger Nano Hardware Wallets

Support for this model of hardware wallets was disabled after updating the Chromium web browser engine, on the basis of which popular browsers are built, including Google Chrome, Opera, Brave and many others. "The entire Web3 community has been affected by this issue and we have worked hard to fix it. Now we have released Metamask version 10.5.0 and you can work with your Ledger Nano devices again," Consensys said in a statement. The developers also talked about expanding cooperation with Ledger. As part of the partnership, the companies hope to facilitate the use of hardware wallets in the Metamask application and make it more secure. To work with Ledger Nano, Metamask users need to select the type of WebHID connection in the advanced wallet settings. After that, you need to carry out the standard procedure for connecting the device to Metamask. At the same time, you no longer need to use the Ledger Live application to connect a hardware wallet to Metamask. Recently, ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin hinted at the possibility of issuing a $MASK token and distributing it to users of the Metamask wallet.
