Freighter is a subscription-based security and privacy tool designed for users of Stellar-powered web applications. This Firefox extension offers a secure alternative to the traditional method of copying and pasting private keys. With Freighter, users can store, control, and manage their private keys directly within their browser, ensuring that sensitive information remains protected and easily accessible without external storage solutions.

The primary focus of Freighter is to enhance user security by eliminating the risks associated with key mismanagement. Notably, it does not store private keys or backup phrases on its servers, which means users retain full control over their data. However, it is important for users to keep their keys and backup phrases secure, as losing them would result in permanent loss of account access.
