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

Trezor Bridge is a background service (software) that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to communicate securely with your web browser. It’s essential if you're using the web version of Trezor Suite or third-party web apps (like MyEtherWallet, MetaMask, or Uniswap) with your Trezor device.


🧠 Why Is Trezor Bridge Needed?

Web browsers can't directly talk to USB devices (like your Trezor) without help. Trezor Bridge acts as the secure link between your browser and your Trezor wallet.

Without it, your device might not be recognized when using Trezor Suite Web or browser-based crypto apps.


💾 How to Install Trezor Bridge

  1. Go to the official download page:
    https://trezor.io/bridge

  2. Download the version for your OS:

    • Windows

    • macOS

    • Linux

  3. Install the software like any standard app.

  4. Restart your browser after installation.


🔧 When Do You Need It?

You need Trezor Bridge if:

  • You're using the web version of Trezor Suite.

  • You're interacting with web-based wallets (e.g., MyEtherWallet, MetaMask).

  • You're not using the Trezor Suite desktop app, which does not require Trezor Bridge.


🔒 Is Trezor Bridge Safe?

Yes, if downloaded from the official site. It's developed by SatoshiLabs (creators of Trezor) and is open-source. It runs locally on your machine and does not collect or transmit private keys or personal data.

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight connector that allows your browser to securely interface with your Trezor hardware wallet. It’s required for using Trezor Web Suite or browser-based crypto tools. Download it only from trezor.io/bridge to stay secure and connected.
