Trezor Bridge – Secure Communication Between Your Trezor Device and Browser
Trezor Bridge is an official software component that enables seamless communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and supported web browsers. It acts as a secure connection layer, allowing browser-based applications to recognize and interact with your Trezor device without relying on outdated browser extensions.
Designed for reliability and security, Trezor Bridge helps ensure that transactions, wallet management, and device authentication are performed safely while your private keys remain securely stored on your hardware wallet.
