Why did they need a browser extension to generate keys?
nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 is spot on here. I suffered a lot yesterday when I introduced #Nostr to my undergrad students in the classroom, in a public university in Bangladesh. They were happy to get introduced to it and began using it instantly but they didn't like the browser extension part.
I must confess I was not a very capable teacher on the Nostr topic, and I have to chalk out a more clear-cut and simple onboarding instruction set, but what Rabble is focusing here requires serious attention of our wonderful devs.
Btw, my introducing of nostr:npub1exv22uulqnmlluszc4yk92jhs2e5ajcs6mu3t00a6avzjcalj9csm7d828 to my students was smooth. They didn't have any trouble at all.
Thanks. 🫂

I don't think was about generating keys. Moreso about using a NIP-07 compliant extension.

The extension is not essentially required for generating keys actually (though it's possible to do the whole onboarding process with the Alby extension master key lately).
The extension is needed for creating an Alby lightning wallet account if one likes to do it that way. It offers to customize your name in the wallet address for free. But an extension is CRUCIALLY required for the safety of your nsec key.
Thank you. 🫂
