# Polkadot Extension

### Download the Polkadot{.js} extension

The Polkadot{.js} browser extension does one thing: it manages accounts and allows the signing of transactions with those accounts. It does not inject providers for use by dApps at this early point, nor does it perform wallet functions, e.g send funds.

{% hint style="info" %}
Download the Polkadot{.js} browser extension [here](https://polkadot.js.org/extension/). \
\
The Polkadot{.js} extension is only available for **Chrome & Firefox** and *is not compatible with mobile browsers*. To connect your wallet to the extension, you will need to use a desktop browser.
{% endhint %}

For developers wanting to use the accounts from the extension in a Dapp, head to the Polkadot{.js} [developer documentation](https://polkadot.js.org/docs/extension/) or look at the corresponding [build/handling wallets & accounts ](/build-1/javascript/wallets.md)section.

### **How to connect your Ternoa account on Polkadot{.js}**

To interact with your Ternoa Wallet from your browser to any dApp, you need to get your Ternoa account imported in the Polkadot{.js} [**browser extension**](https://polkadot.js.org/extension/).\
\
A video tutorial is available below:

If you already have Polkadot{.js} installed, you can either import account from pre-existing seed from your Ternoa Wallet or connect your Substrate address from a hardware wallet.

You can import your Ternoa Wallet directly on the extension by clicking the '+'. **It will be necessary to have your wallet connected to validate transactions.**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ternoa.network/getting-started/wallets/polkadot-extension.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
