What is Trezor® Bridge?

Trezor® Bridge is a lightweight background service that enables secure communication between your Trezor® hardware wallet and web browsers. It acts as a vital link that allows you to access Trezor Wallet and Trezor Suite through your browser while maintaining the highest security standards.

Why Trezor® Bridge is Essential

Unlike the Trezor Suite app desktop application that communicates directly with your device, the web version requires Trezor® Bridge to establish a secure USB connection through the browser. This eliminates the need for browser extensions while ensuring your private keys never leave your Trezor® device.
