Impersonator Extension

Browser extension that enables you to Log-in as ANY Ethereum address on ALL dapps!

⚒️ Installation and Usage instructions available here: https://github.com/apoorvlathey/impersonator-extension#impersonator-extension

✨ Features:
- No private keys are required
- Connect address to DApps in \"watch-only\" mode
- Works with all VM chains like Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BSC, and various testnets as well.
- Easily input addresses via ENS
- Dynamically switch connected address and network, after being connected to a dapp.
- Unique feature that differentiates it from other wallets: You can have different address & chain injected in different browser tabs at the same time!

📝 Impersonator injects into the dapps just like Metamask, but gives you the freedom to set custom address which tricks the dapp into thinking you own that address.
