🔗 What is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a communication tool that connects your Trezor® hardware wallet with supported desktop applications and browsers like Chrome and Firefox. It acts as a secure link between your device and the Trezor Suite™ interface, allowing seamless interaction without the need for browser extensions or third-party apps.
When you plug in your Trezor wallet, Trezor Bridge ensures your device can safely exchange encrypted data with your computer. It's especially helpful when you're not using the WebUSB standard or are on a browser that doesn’t support native Trezor access.
⚙️ Why Do You Need Trezor Bridge?
Most browsers don’t natively support direct USB communication with external devices like hardware wallets. That’s where Trezor Bridge comes in. It fills this gap by enabling:
- 📡 Real-time, secure communication with your Trezor device
- 🔐 Data protection through encrypted protocols
- 🧩 Compatibility with multiple browsers and operating systems
- 💻 Effortless connection between the wallet and Trezor Suite™
Trezor Bridge works in the background. You install it once, and it keeps running as a service so your device is always ready to connect—without any interruptions.
🛠️ How to Install Trezor Bridge
- Visit the official download page: trezor.io/bridge
- Choose your operating system (Windows®, macOS®, Linux)
- Download and install the Bridge
- Restart your browser
- Connect your Trezor device and open Trezor Suite™
That’s it! 💡 You’ll now be able to use your Trezor wallet with full browser integration and enhanced reliability.
🔐 Is Trezor Bridge Safe?
Absolutely! Trezor Bridge is developed by SatoshiLabs, the team behind the original hardware wallet. It uses encrypted communication, does not store any personal data, and runs locally—ensuring privacy and security remain in your control.
You also don’t need to worry about future updates—Trezor Bridge gets automatic updates to ensure ongoing security and compatibility with the latest tools.
