Trezor Bridge – Secure Connection Between Trezor and Your Browser
Introduction
Trezor Bridge is the official communication tool that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to connect with supported web browsers and applications. It runs in the background on your computer, ensuring a secure and seamless connection between your device and Trezor Suite (web app) or other compatible wallet platforms.
