How to fix injected web3 in Remix IDE

Sometimes when trying to deploy your smart contract from remix, it may refuse to select the inject web 3 provider(MetaMask) and connect your wallet. It may occasionally throw the following error;

> No injected Web3 provider found. Make sure your provider (e.g. MetaMask) is active and running (when recently activated you may have to reload the page)

Below is the simple step to fix this error.

  • First, make sure your MetaMask is unlocked. Unlock it by simply typing your password.
