MetaMask Extension follows a self-custody security model. Private keys are encrypted and stored locally on the user's device. No central authority can freeze, access, or recover funds without the recovery phrase.
Users should always verify website permissions, double-check transaction details, and never share their recovery phrase under any circumstances.
