What is Trezor Bridge®?
Trezor Bridge® is a lightweight background service that facilitates communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and the Trezor Suite web interface. Unlike browser extensions that may pose security risks, Trezor Bridge® operates as a standalone application, providing a more secure connection pathway.
This essential software component eliminates the need for manual driver installations and ensures compatibility across different operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Trezor Bridge® automatically detects when your Trezor device is connected and establishes a secure communication channel with your browser.
The service runs quietly in the background, only activating when you need to access your Trezor wallet through the web interface. This approach maintains the highest security standards while providing a seamless user experience.
