🔗 What Is Trezor Bridge? Everything You Need to Know
Trezor Bridge is a lightweight communication tool that enables your web browser to interact securely with your Trezor hardware wallet. If you're using the browser version of Trezor Suite, or accessing other Trezor-compatible web apps, Trezor Bridge acts as the vital link between your physical wallet and the online interface.
🧠 Why Do You Need Trezor Bridge?
Unlike standard USB devices, Trezor wallets don't behave like flash drives or keyboards. To ensure safe, encrypted communication between the browser and your wallet, Trezor Bridge acts as a background service — helping your Trezor wallet stay secure and connected.
It’s especially essential if:
- 🧩 You’re using the web version of Trezor Suite
- 💻 Your browser doesn’t support WebUSB natively
- 🔒 You want a secure, encrypted bridge for real-time transactions
⚙️ How Does Trezor Bridge Work?
Once installed, Trezor Bridge runs quietly in the background. When you plug in your Trezor device and open a Trezor-compatible web page (such as suite.trezor.io), the bridge facilitates encrypted data transmission — letting the web app securely communicate with your hardware wallet.
✔️ It works on all major operating systems:
• Windows
• macOS
• Linux
✔️ Compatible with most browsers:
• Chrome
• Firefox
• Brave
• Edge
