📰 Trezor Bridge – Introducing the New Trezor App
🔐 What Is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a small software program that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to communicate with your computer and web browsers securely. Modern browsers don’t allow direct USB access to devices, so Bridge acts as a secure intermediary between your Trezor and web apps like Trezor Suite Web or compatible crypto wallets.
💡 Why You Need It
- Enables communication between Trezor devices and web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge).
- Replaces older browser plugins like the Trezor Chrome extension.
- Ensures that private keys never leave your device, keeping your crypto safe.
🛠️ Step‑by‑Step Installation Guide
1. Visit the Official Trezor Website
Go to trezor.io/bridge to download the latest Trezor Bridge version.
2. Choose Your Operating System
- Windows
- macOS
- Linux
3. Download and Run the Installer
- Open the downloaded file and follow the installation prompts.
- Administrative permissions may be required.
4. Restart Your Browser
Close and reopen your browser after installation so it can detect Trezor Bridge.
5. Connect Your Trezor Device
- Plug in your Trezor hardware wallet.
- Open Trezor Suite or a compatible web wallet. Your device should now be recognized via Bridge.
🧠 Tips for Best Results
- Always download Bridge only from the official Trezor site.
- If your device isn’t detected, restart your computer after installation.
- Check that firewalls or antivirus software aren’t blocking Bridge communication.
🧩 Extra Notes
- Trezor Suite Desktop does not require Bridge — it has built-in communication with your device.
- Future browser support (WebUSB/WebHID) may reduce the need for Bridge, but it remains the most compatible and stable solution for now.
