There are five categories of Ethereum wallets that can interact with dApps
Browser built-in (Opera, Brave, ...)
Browser extension (MetaMask, ...)
Mobile wallets (Trust, Walleth, Pillar, ...)
Account-based web wallets (Fortmatic, 3box, ...)
Hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor, ...)
Then there is a larger category of wallets that cannot integrate with dApps include generic wallet apps that lack the functionality to integrate with smart contracts.
Many generic wallet apps that hold multiple coins (Xapo, ...)
All cryptocurrecy exchanges (Binance, ...)
Other "hot wallet" / "custodial" wallet services like BitGo
Different wallets have a different user experience to connect. For example, with MetaMask you get a Connect pop up. With mobile wallets, you scan a QR code.
Web3modal is a JavaScript library that allows you easily to pluck in any supported wallet to your dApp. It abstracts away different UX and protocols wallets provide.

Any working example for Coinbase Wallet? I tried this example but didn't work github.com/Web3Modal/web3modal/blob/master/docs/providers/…– Minh TriCommented Jan 11, 2022 at 9:18

Please ask Coinbase for Coinbase Wallet support. They are a multibillion publicly listed company. They should afford to offer their own developer support. Commented Jan 11, 2022 at 9:49

I will try. For me, their npm package doesn't work when not running on a Node server and their documentation is meager. Thank you, anyway.– Minh TriCommented Jan 11, 2022 at 10:50
