I just lost my metamask account and don't have my seedphrase
Is there anyway I can recover it ?
It was a browser extension and after installing brave and putting metamask on that it overwrote my extension, is it possible to import from some saved Json file or is it cached somewhere ?
Help I am genuinely considering suicide if I am unable to recover my funds

Anon i have a solution for you.
This will depend on your luck.
Here it is:
Look for an image of your whole system that was taken by software like time capsule back up, or for windows, an image back up in your backup section on the control panel.
It all depends if it took an image of a set date of your computer. If it did at a time when you had your chrome and metamask installed, load that one, and it will give you back your computer of that set date without the new brave.

I wish you luck anon.
Let us know if you found the image before this thread dies.
