Trezor® Bridge® | Connect Your Trezor to Web Browsers

Introduction to Trezor® Bridge®

Trezor® Bridge® is a crucial software bridge that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to communicate securely with web browsers. This enables you to manage cryptocurrencies directly from your browser without compromising security. Trezor Bridge ensures a seamless connection between the Trezor device and web applications like Trezor Wallet.

By installing Trezor Bridge, users can effortlessly access wallet features, authorize transactions, and monitor balances while keeping private keys safely on the device. This bridge is compatible with major browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Opera.
