Trezor Bridge v24.12.3 introduces enhanced security hardening and improved compatibility with modern browsers and OS versions. While SatoshiLabs doesn’t publish full detailed changelogs for every incremental Bridge release, general improvements for this version include:
Better USB device handshake and detection reliability under Windows/Mac/Linux (especially relevant for newer hardware).
Fixes for issues where the device or web‑wallet interface would not recognise the connected hardware wallet.
Minor UX tweaks to give clearer feedback when initialization or recovery flows are run via Trezor Suite or browser‑based wallet interfaces.
Visit the official download page at the manufacturer’s site and download Bridge for your OS.
Close any running wallet interfaces (Trezor Suite, browser wallets).
Install the downloaded version; on most platforms the installer will replace the old version and reboot the background service automatically.
Re‑connect your hardware wallet and launch the wallet interface to verify the new version is active (you may find a version info screen or check via the Bridge status endpoint).
If you had a standalone Bridge previously but now use Trezor Suite’s built‑in bridge, you might want to uninstall the older standalone version to avoid conflicts.
Open your browser and go to the official Trezor website at trezor.io
Navigate to the “Start” or “Download & Verify” section.
Look for the item labelled “Trezor Bridge” for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux).
Click the download link. Save the installer file (e.g., trezor‑bridge‑v24.7.3.exe for Windows).
Once downloaded, run the installer and follow the prompts to install it on your system.
After installation, restart your browser to ensure the Bridge service is correctly recognised.
Connect your Trezor hardware wallet via USB. Your browser should now detect the device via Bridge.
Downloading and installing the official Trezor Bridge ensures your hardware wallet communicates securely with your computer and Trezor Suite. While version v24.7.3 may still be referenced, it’s important to follow Trezor’s guidance, as the standalone Bridge is now deprecated in favor of Trezor Suite. Using the official portal guarantees you receive a genuine, verified version, reducing the risk of malware or counterfeit software. Always verify downloads and keep your system updated. By following these steps, you can confidently connect and manage your Trezor device, ensuring your cryptocurrencies remain protected in a secure, hardware-based environment.
