Trezor Bridge – Secure Communication Between Your Device and Browser
Trezor Bridge is an essential software component that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to communicate securely with web browsers and the Trezor Suite App. It acts as a bridge between your Trezor device and your computer, enabling you to manage cryptocurrencies safely and efficiently. Without Trezor Bridge, your browser cannot interact properly with the hardware wallet.
Why Trezor Bridge is Needed
Most web browsers restrict direct communication with USB devices for security reasons. Trezor Bridge overcomes this limitation by creating a secure channel between your Trezor wallet and supported web apps or services, such as:
Trezor Suite (web version)
Web-based wallets and exchanges that support Trezor
This ensures your private keys never leave the device, while still allowing seamless management of your cryptocurrency.
