Subject: [PATCH] NIP-07 friendly description

When people use web clients for the first time, many are redirected to this page to learn about signing in with a browser extension. This page keeps a good list of options, but it is technical.
Adding a "Nostr How To" here may make it easier for non-devs to understand NIP-07.

+### Nostr How To: Browser Extensions
+
+*Browser extensions with nostr NIP-07 are an extra security layer for your private or secret key (nsec)*
+
+**Best practice:** Do not enter your nostr private key directly in a nostr client website, use a browser extension instead.
+
+1. Download and setup a browser extension (list below)
+2. Generate a nostr key pair*, or if you already have one, save a copy in your browser extension
+3. Use your browser extension of choice to sign in and create notes in nostr web clients that support this feature
+
+*Keep a backup of your public and private keys in a password manager
