🔑 What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a small software application developed by SatoshiLabs (the creators of Trezor) that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to communicate securely with your web browser.

It acts as a communication bridge between your Trezor device and Trezor Suite or any supported web wallet interface. Without Trezor Bridge, your browser won’t be able to detect your Trezor device properly.

⚙️ Why Do You Need Trezor Bridge?

• Enables secure connection: It ensures your computer and browser can safely communicate with the Trezor device.
• Browser compatibility: Older methods (like the Trezor Chrome Extension) are deprecated — Trezor Bridge replaces these.
• Smooth usage: It makes sure your hardware wallet works seamlessly when using Trezor Suite (the app to manage your crypto).

📥 How to Download and Install Trezor Bridge

Step 1: Visit the Official Trezor Site

1. Go to trezor.io/start
2. Follow the instructions for your Trezor Model (Trezor One or Trezor Model T).

Step 2: Download Trezor Bridge

1. You’ll be prompted to Download Trezor Bridge for your operating system (Windows, MacOS, or Linux).
2. Click the download link and save the installer file.

Step 3: Install Trezor Bridge

✅ Tip: After installation, you may need to restart your browser to make sure it recognizes your Trezor device.

🔗 How Trezor Bridge Works Behind the Scenes

• It creates a local communication channel between your browser and Trezor hardware.
• It replaces old browser extensions with a more stable and secure solution.
• It automatically keeps itself updated when you visit Trezor Suite or use your device.

🧩 Supported Browsers

Trezor Bridge works with popular browsers like:

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Brave
• Edge

Note: Some browsers might need you to allow the connection or confirm security permissions.

🛡️ Is Trezor Bridge Safe?

Yes! Trezor Bridge is official software from Trezor (SatoshiLabs). Always download it only from trezor.io/start to avoid malicious copies.

🗂️ Alternative: Trezor Suite Desktop

If you don’t want to use Trezor Bridge, you can also download the Trezor Suite Desktop app instead. The desktop app connects directly to your Trezor, so you won’t need the Bridge.

✅ Final Checks After Installing

1. Plug in your Trezor device with the USB cable.
2. Open Trezor Suite in your browser or desktop.
3. Confirm your device is detected.
4. If it’s not detected, make sure:
   • Trezor Bridge is running.
   • Your browser is up to date.
   • You’ve restarted your browser.

Once Trezor Bridge is installed and working, you’re all set to manage your crypto assets safely with your Trezor hardware wallet!
