What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is an essential software utility that enables secure, real-time communication between a Trezor hardware wallet and browser-based applications or third-party crypto platforms[web:24][web:25]. Designed for maximum privacy, its encrypted layer protects transaction requests and authentication, ensuring private keys are never exposed to the internet or your computer. Whether you’re using Trezor Suite Web or trusted third-party wallets, Trezor Bridge operates silently in the background for frictionless crypto management—even when browsers lack direct USB access.

How to Install & Use Trezor Bridge

  1. Visit the official Trezor Bridge download page. Choose your OS (Windows, Mac, Linux).
  2. Download and run the installer. Follow prompted steps—setup is quick and secure.
  3. Restart your browser after installation. Connect your Trezor hardware wallet using a USB cable.
  4. Navigate to Trezor Suite Web or another compatible application. The wallet should be recognized instantly.
  5. All communications and key actions (including signing) remain within your Trezor device for top-tier protection.
Pro tip: If a browser doesn’t recognize your Trezor, check that Trezor Bridge is running, use a supported browser such as Chrome or Firefox, and ensure your USB cable is functional for data[web:24].
