Trezor Bridge is the official communication layer that allows your browser to interact safely with your Trezor hardware wallet. Lightweight, secure, and easy to install, Trezor Bridge ensures your device can send and receive data with trusted web applications—without exposing your private keys or compromising your security.
Whether you're using Trezor Suite Web or other compatible crypto tools, Trezor Bridge provides the essential link that keeps your digital assets protected while ensuring a smooth, uninterrupted experience.
1. What Is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a small background application designed to enable secure communication between your browser and your Trezor device. It replaces outdated browser plugins and creates a reliable, modern, and safer interaction pathway for hardware wallets.
Key Advantages
Works on all major operating systems
Supports all modern browsers
Requires no complex configuration
Provides stable device detection
Delivers continuous, secure communication
With Trezor Bridge installed, your browser can recognize your hardware wallet instantly, making crypto management fast, safe, and effortless.
2. Why You Need Trezor Bridge
Most browsers today heavily restrict direct USB communication in the name of security. Without a bridge application, your web wallet would not be able to communicate with your Trezor device at all.
Trezor Bridge Solves This By:
Allowing trusted communication between web apps and your Trezor
Ensuring private keys remain isolated on the hardware wallet
Preventing fake browser extensions from accessing your device
Eliminating compatibility issues found in older communication methods
Trezor Bridge is not just a convenience—it is a necessary security layer for using your Trezor device online.

Installing Trezor Bridge is simple and quick. The lightweight application runs silently in the background, activating only when a web application requests access to your device.
