Explore Trezor Bridge®, the official communication interface between your Trezor device and computer browser. Learn how to install, use, and troubleshoot Trezor Bridge for a secure crypto experience.
Trezor Bridge is an essential software developed by SatoshiLabs that facilitates smooth and secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and supported web browsers. Whether you're managing your digital assets, accessing decentralized apps, or using the Trezor Suite, Trezor Bridge ensures a trusted connection between your device and your computer.
If you're using a Trezor Model One or Model T and want the best experience managing cryptocurrencies, then installing Trezor Bridge is crucial. It replaces older Chrome extensions and provides a direct line of communication between your device and the Trezor Suite app on your desktop.
Trezor Bridge provides a safe channel that connects your web browser to your Trezor hardware wallet. It doesn’t store your private keys or track your data—ensuring your control over digital assets remains fully yours.
Trezor Bridge works with major browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Brave, and Edge, ensuring that no matter your preference, you can still access the Trezor Suite securely.
Trezor Bridge eliminates the need for the old Trezor Chrome Extension. It’s more stable, regularly updated, and compatible with current browser security standards.
Every transaction is authorized on the Trezor device itself. Trezor Bridge acts as a messenger, not a decision-maker, maintaining the air-gap security that hardware wallets are known for.
