Notes
Don't worry. This is usually caused by an issue during the browser's extension update process and does not indicate any problem with your wallet or assets.
Why does this happen?
Once in a while, Chrome or Edge may incorrectly mark an extension as "corrupted" during an automatic extension update due to the browser's update mechanism.This is a known browser extension update issue and is not related to the security of your wallet or assets.
