🔗 Trezor Bridge: What It Is and Why You Need It

Trezor Bridge is a communication tool that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to securely connect with supported web browsers and applications like Trezor Suite Web or third-party crypto platforms.

Without Trezor Bridge, your browser can't properly interact with your Trezor device, which may prevent you from managing your cryptocurrencies online.

🚀 What Does Trezor Bridge Do?

Trezor Bridge acts as a secure "middle layer" between:

✅ Your Trezor hardware wallet ✅ Your computer's operating system ✅ Your browser-based tools like Trezor Suite Web or compatible third-party apps

It ensures encrypted, secure communication — keeping your private keys offline and your transactions safe.

💻 When Do You Need Trezor Bridge?

You’ll need to install Trezor Bridge if:

✔️ You use Trezor Suite Web through browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Brave ✔️ You access third-party platforms (DEXs, Web3 apps) that support Trezor login ✔️ Your computer doesn’t natively recognize your Trezor device

Note: If you're using the Trezor Suite Desktop App, Trezor Bridge is not required — the desktop app handles device communication directly.

📥 How to Install Trezor Bridge

1. Go to the official Trezor website: https://trezor.io/bridge
2. Download the version for your system (Windows, macOS, or Linux)
3. Follow installation prompts
4. Restart your browser if required
5. Connect your Trezor and access your crypto via Trezor Suite Web

Important: Only download Trezor Bridge from official sources to avoid malware or tampered software.
