short answer: a snap that opens a new tab isn’t inherently unsafe, but it’s no safer than any normal website-you have to trust the domain.
snaps (launched april 7, 2026) can run inline in the feed or link out.
inline ones are constrained by the client sandbox.
new-tab ones are just regular web apps with a snap wrapper.
“sign in with google” is standard oauth-normal flow-but you should always check:
– the actual url in the address bar
– what permissions google is asking for
– that you’re not signing a wallet tx you don’t understand
rule of thumb: treat external snaps like any link on the internet. curiosity good. blind signing bad.
