What is Trezor Bridge™?
Trezor Bridge™ acts as a secure communication layer between your Trezor hardware wallet and web browsers or desktop applications like Trezor Suite™. It replaces old browser plug-ins, offering universal compatibility, enhanced security, and easier crypto management for all supported operating systems. By running in the background, it ensures safe transfer of transaction data, never exposing your private keys or wallet secrets to third-parties[web:11][web:12][web:14][web:16].
