What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge acts as a communication tool between your Trezor hardware wallet and the web-based Trezor Wallet interface. When using your Trezor, your browser needs to access the wallet for signing transactions and managing your cryptocurrency. Trezor Bridge ensures that your browser can detect and interact with your Trezor device, providing a seamless and secure user experience.

Unlike browser extensions, Trezor Bridge works in the background, so you don’t need to worry about constantly updating or enabling it. Once installed, it connects your Trezor wallet to the supported web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Brave without any issues.
