Secure Communication Between Your Browser and Trezor® Hardware Wallet
Trezor Bridge® is an official background service that enables secure communication between your Trezor® hardware wallet and supported web browsers. It acts as a trusted bridge, allowing browser-based wallet interfaces and web applications to interact safely with your Trezor® device.
By using Trezor Bridge®, users can manage cryptocurrencies directly through compatible web platforms without compromising security or exposing private keys.
Modern browsers have strict security policies that limit direct access to USB devices. Trezor Bridge® solves this limitation by creating a secure, verified channel between your browser and the Trezor® hardware wallet.
Once installed, Trezor Bridge® runs silently in the background. When you connect your Trezor® device and open a supported browser-based wallet or service, the bridge facilitates secure communication without requiring manual configuration.
While both tools are part of the Trezor® ecosystem, they serve different purposes. Trezor Suite is a full-featured desktop and web application for managing crypto assets, whereas Trezor Bridge® is a connectivity service designed primarily for browser-based access.
Users who rely on the Trezor Suite desktop app may not need Trezor Bridge®, but it remains essential for users accessing Trezor® through web wallets or third-party platforms.
Trezor Bridge® supports major operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is compatible with popular browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and others that support secure hardware communication.
Keeping Trezor Bridge® up to date ensures optimal performance and compatibility with the latest browser security updates.
