Trezor Bridge: The Secure Connection Between Your Trezor Wallet and Browser
If you own a Trezor hardware wallet, you’ve probably heard about Trezor Bridge—the small but powerful software that allows your wallet to communicate securely with your web browser. Without it, your Trezor device wouldn’t be able to sign transactions or manage crypto assets in real-time.
What is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a background service developed by SatoshiLabs that connects your Trezor hardware wallet to compatible browsers. It replaces older browser plugins and offers better stability, security, and performance.
Why You Need Trezor Bridge
When you plug your Trezor wallet into your computer, your browser alone can’t talk to it directly. Trezor Bridge works as the translator, ensuring smooth communication and protecting you from malicious interference.
