What Is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a communication tool that connects your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer's browser. It allows Trezor to interact securely with supported wallet interfaces like Trezor Suite, giving you a seamless and secure way to manage your crypto assets.
Unlike browser plugins, Trezor Bridge works as a background service, reducing the risk of interference or compromise. It's available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, ensuring cross-platform compatibility.
How to Install and Use Trezor Bridge
To get started, download Trezor Bridge from the official Trezor website. Once installed, restart your browser to activate the service. When you plug in your Trezor device, your browser should detect it instantly, enabling you to open Trezor Suite or any supported interface.
Make sure your firmware is up to date for best compatibility.
