Trezor Bridge – Connecting Your Browser with Your Trezor Hardware Wallet

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a small communication tool developed by SatoshiLabs that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to interact with supported browsers. It acts as the bridge (hence the name) between your device and web-based applications such as Trezor Suite and third-party wallets.

Without Trezor Bridge, your browser cannot recognize or securely communicate with your hardware wallet. It plays a crucial role in establishing a safe, encrypted, and seamless connection between your device and the computer.

Why You Need Trezor Bridge

When you plug in your Trezor device, your browser does not automatically detect or interact with it like a USB drive. This is where Trezor Bridge comes in:

• Secure Communication: Establishes an encrypted, local connection between your wallet and web apps.
• Browser Compatibility: Supports Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Brave, Edge) and Firefox without extensions.
• No Middleman: Runs locally, ensuring no third-party interference in communication.
• Required for Trezor Suite Web: Essential for using Trezor Suite Web.

In short, Trezor Bridge is your go-to utility to ensure secure, uninterrupted use of your hardware wallet from a desktop browser.

How to Download and Install Trezor Bridge

Follow these steps to set up Trezor Bridge on your computer:

1. Go to the official website: trezor.io/bridge
2. Choose your operating system: Windows, macOS, or Linux.
3. Download the latest installer and run the setup file.
4. Restart your browser after installation.
5. Connect your Trezor device and visit suite.trezor.io/web to start using it securely.

You do not need to open the Bridge app manually. It runs quietly in the background and activates automatically when needed.

Key Features of Trezor Bridge

• Lightweight: Consumes minimal system resources while running.
• Automatic Updates: Bridge notifies you when a new version is available.
• Privacy First: Runs locally; no data is sent to SatoshiLabs or external servers.
• Device Detection: Seamlessly detects when a Trezor device is connected or disconnected.
• Cross-Platform: Works on major operating systems and with multiple browsers.

These features make Trezor Bridge the backbone of a safe crypto experience, enabling web applications to use hardware wallet functionality securely.

When You Don’t Need Trezor Bridge

If you're using the Trezor Suite Desktop App, you don’t need to install Bridge, as the desktop app handles all communication internally. However, if you prefer browser-based access through the web version, Bridge is a must.

Security and Trust

Trezor Bridge is digitally signed and verified by SatoshiLabs. It's open-source and regularly audited to ensure that no malicious or backdoor code exists. As with all crypto tools, always download Bridge from the official Trezor website to avoid fake or modified versions.
