- the best extension of bitcoins wallets.
- OzDive
- I have been using Alby hub on start 9 for 2 yrs or so. I have to shut my node down so flashed up Albyhub in the cloud. It is an awesome way to get easy access to all the stuff we need if you cant have a physical node for whatever reason. I use this extension to zap and pay for stuff all the time. Top Notch. Appreciate all you Guys do keep up the great work
- Chemaclass
- Alby is super easy to use and works exactly as expected. Managing Lightning payments is quick and smooth, and the browser extension is very user-friendly. Everything just works. Highly recommended!
- JAY
- Alby is one of the best browser extensions available for using the Bitcoin Lightning Network directly on the web. It makes sending, receiving, and managing Lightning payments simple, fast, and intuitive — all without leaving your browser. The extension integrates perfectly with websites that support WebLN, LNURL, and Lightning addresses, allowing you to tip creators, log in with your Lightning identity, or pay instantly in sats. It also connects with Nostr, letting you sign and send events securely while keeping your private keys safe. Setup is quick and beginner-friendly. You can either use Alby’s built-in custodial wallet to get started right away or connect your own Lightning node for full self-custody and privacy. The interface is clean and responsive, and the experience feels just like using any modern web wallet.
- Casey McLean

- Chris Mengle
- Alby extension is awesome and has a multitude of configuration options. You can select your Alby Hub wallet from within the extension and add whatever other web sites you interact with. Extremely useful for nostr integrations.
- Cesar Casado
- Great wallet! Fast transactions, clean interface, and very easy to use. I appreciate the seamless Lightning integration and the reliable performance. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a simple and secure Bitcoin wallet
- Danny
- A great extension, downloaded for Brave Browser. It works fine, is nicely laid out, clean and clear, easy to download, install, set up and navigation. I am a novice with nostr, connecting wallets and bitcoin, but thats why I gave it 5 stars, as its not overwhelming or techy. Yet to explore the full potential of the apps it can link to but so far so good.
- Ché Köhler
- Alby wallet has long since been my default browser wallet but since the growth of nostr, it's become so much more! Really helps you navigate the growing ecosystem of apps, and makes managing the chaos so much easier! Don't leave home without it
- Joshua Clarke
- Great extension, works as advertised, makes connecting to Nostr apps easy. Would be nice if there was a way to save your password, though.

- relai welliv
- The Alby Chrome extension is easily one of my favorite tools for the Bitcoin and Nostr ecosystem. It just makes everything so simple. Connecting to Nostr web clients is a breeze, no more risking exposure of your Nostr private key. I also love how it works as a real-time web wallet, letting me spend sats with just a click, whether I'm zapping someone or making a quick purchase. It’s the perfect, low-friction way to use Bitcoin and Nostr on the web.

- it was nice until they started charging 💀
- Stephen Vanderwarker
- Wonderful extension! Tied together with my Albyhub and BAM I'M SENDING SATS in seconds. Much love 💜🫂🧡
- John S
- Just signed up and got this message: "The shared wallet that you use is being deprecated in favor of the Alby Hub wallet. To continue sending and receiving payments setup your wallet by January 3, 2025." Apparently, there will be a monthly fee starting in January.
- J H
- I use Alby to login to all Nostr apps, a must have for modern internet experience.
- Heather Larson
- I love using Alby to sign into all things Nostr. Whether logging into Coracle to hang on Nostr or getting on Tunestr to zap ⚡️ live music, this extension is my go-to. If it ever doesn't work, Alby tech support is fast and helpful. (And if we ever need more invite codes, they are responsive to that as well!) Thanks for all your help, Alby Team! 👏
- Matula Attila
- It's simple and very easy to use for all apps and the number is growing all the time. Whether it's social media sites or bitcoin payments, you can register everything in one place with a private key in a decentralised way. There are so many different themes you can join with 1 private key: Entertainment Gaming Misc Node Management Nostr Podcast Players Publisher Tools Rewards Shopping Trading
- Eva Pierson
- Once you receive an 'invite code' the installation is easy setup is easy (make sure to import the nsec code, otherwise you will create inadvertently a new code and therefor a second wallet) Connecting to all Nostr services is as easy as clicking an 'OK' button Great documentation, and last but not least, customer support is really good and helpful Thank you
- Chopcoin io
- terrible waste of time
- Google User
- I have to say THANK YOU getalby for the support and guidance I've received yesterday to recover my account and my Sats. I would recommend this wallet to anyone who's connecting to a self-custodial or non-custodial wallet. As long as you have proof that the getalby account belongs to you you will be able to recover it if you lose access to your account. Support are SUPER HELPFULL. THANK YOU AGAIN getalby support. Special thanks to @Moritz_Kaminski for your time, support and effort in helping me. This is a MUST HAVE bitcoin wallet when you use it with a mobile wallet to connect to the lightning network. If I could I would give you 100 out of 5 stars.

- fluid, functional and excellent custumer care.
- Robert Renken
- The Alby browser extension is very useful for logging in to various Nostr clients. I would compare it to a password manager in that it makes logging in to Nostr clients quick and easy. The Alby team worked with me after I received an update for my Chromebook which caused the extension not to work with some clients. The team e-mailed me and did a video call to help resolve the problem. Everything is working fine now.
- Roman Marko

- It seems that Alby requires me to have my own lightning node or pay for a cloud node. I am sad.
