## Best Monero wallet for desktop: Feather

**Feather** is the community's favorite on desktop. It is a light wallet: it doesn't download the whole blockchain, so it syncs in minutes.

- **Built-in Tor** to hide your IP when connecting to nodes.
- **Works with Ledger and Trezor.**
- Creates **16-word Polyseed** seeds, which store the creation date for faster restores.
- Runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Tails.

For **maximum independence**, the **official GUI** (or CLI) can run a **full node** on your computer: you don't depend on other people's nodes, at the cost of downloading over 200 GB.

## Best Monero wallet for the browser: MoneroP2P Wallet

**MoneroP2P Wallet** is a **Monero extension for Chrome, Brave, Edge, Opera and Firefox**. It is the pick if you want to buy and move XMR from your browser:

- One 25-word seed holds **XMR and USDT/ETH on Arbitrum One**.
- Connects by itself to the [USDT to XMR swap](/en/app/) and [P2P Fiat](https://fiat.monerop2p.app/en/), with no MetaMask and no copying addresses.

## Best option for large savings: hardware wallet

A **hardware wallet** keeps the keys on a physical device that never exposes them to your computer.

- **Ledger** and **some Trezor models** support Monero.
- You use them with **Feather** or the **official GUI**: the app shows the balance and the device signs.
- Only buy them from the brand's official store, never second-hand.

## How to choose your Monero wallet

1. **By device:** desktop → Feather; phone → Cake Wallet or Monerujo; browser → MoneroP2P Wallet.
2. **By amount:** a software wallet for day-to-day spending; a hardware wallet for savings.
3. **By privacy:** use your own node or Tor. Read [is Monero traceable?](/en/news/is-monero-traceable-xmr-vs-bitcoin-vs-zcash/).
