🔄 What Is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a communication tool that allows your Trezor hardware wallet to securely interact with your web browser. It's especially important when using Trezor Wallet or Trezor Suite Web (browser-based interface).
Without Trezor Bridge, your computer and browser won’t be able to detect or communicate with your Trezor device reliably.
🧩 Why You Need Trezor Bridge
Trezor Bridge is needed when:
- You're using Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T with a browser (e.g., Chrome or Firefox)
- You’re not using the Trezor Suite desktop app
- You want to access your Trezor via wallet.trezor.io or browser-based dApps
📥 How to Install Trezor Bridge
✅ 1. Go to the Official Site
- Visit: https://trezor.io/start
OR directly download from:
🔗 https://suite.trezor.io/web/bridge/
✅ 2. Choose Your Operating System
- Windows, macOS, or Linux options are available.
✅ 3. Download & Install

- After installation, restart your browser.
✅ 4. Connect Your Trezor

🛠️ Troubleshooting Trezor Bridge
- Device not recognized?
- Make sure Bridge is installed and running.
- Restart your browser and unplug/replug the device.
- Try a different USB cable or port.
- Trezor Suite Desktop app users do not need Bridge — it communicates directly without it.
🔐 Security Tip
Only install Trezor Bridge from the official Trezor website:
👉 https://suite.trezor.io/web/bridge/
Never download from third-party sites, as fake versions may compromise your wallet.
✅ Conclusion
Trezor Bridge is an essential tool for users who prefer managing their Trezor device via a browser interface instead of the desktop app. It ensures smooth, secure communication between your wallet and online services.
If you're using Trezor Suite desktop, you don’t need the Bridge. But for web-based management, installing Trezor Bridge is both safe and necessary.
