Trezor Bridge – Securely Connect Trezor to Your Browser 🔗
Trezor Bridge is a lightweight communication tool that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to interact with supported browsers and applications like Trezor Suite. It runs in the background to ensure seamless and secure communication between your device and computer.
🔐 Without Trezor Bridge, your browser can't talk to your Trezor wallet.
⚙️ What Is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a software component developed by SatoshiLabs that acts as a secure connection layer between your Trezor device and your browser.
It's necessary for using your Trezor wallet with:
- Trezor Suite (Web version)
- Web wallets and DeFi interfaces
- MetaMask integration
- Third-party services like Exodus, MyEtherWallet, and more
Unlike browser extensions, Trezor Bridge operates in the background without collecting or storing any user data.
