Trezor Bridge® — Connect Your Trezor to Web Browsers
The Trezor Bridge® enables your computer to communicate with your Trezor hardware wallet through supported web browsers. With Bridge installed, browser-based wallet tools can securely detect your device, request permitted actions, and help you manage crypto without exposing your recovery seed.
What Trezor Bridge® Does
Trezor Bridge® acts as a secure local layer between your USB-connected Trezor device and your browser. It ensures that:
- Your browser can detect your Trezor without installing a plugin.
- Communication happens only locally on your computer.
- All sensitive confirmations must be approved directly on your Trezor hardware.
- No private keys or recovery data ever touch the browser.
This makes Bridge a safe and reliable way to use Trezor with web wallets, exchange connectors, and online crypto tools.
Why You Need Trezor Bridge®
Some browsers do not natively support hardware wallet communication. Trezor Bridge® fills this gap by offering:
- Device recognition for signing transactions directly on your Trezor.
- Wide compatibility with Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and other supported browsers.
- Automatic updates for stable and secure communication.
- Simple setup with minimal system permissions.

Security Essentials
Trezor Bridge® does not store your recovery seed, PIN, passphrase, or private keys. These remain secured inside your Trezor hardware device at all times.
Important reminders:
- Your recovery seed should never be entered on any website or computer.

- Always download Bridge only from the official Trezor website.
- If a website requests your seed phrase, treat it as a scam and disconnect immediately.
