What is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a background service that connects your Trezor hardware wallet with Trezor Suite and supported browsers. Without Bridge, your computer may fail to detect your device. With Bridge, you can securely sign transactions, install firmware updates, and manage your crypto without interruptions. It runs quietly in the background, providing a protected communication channel.
