Trezor Bridge Download – Securely Connect Your Trezor Wallet to Your Browser

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight, secure communication software that acts as a link between your Trezor hardware wallet and web applications. It is designed to replace the now-deprecated Chrome extension and enables direct access to your wallet from your browser, such as when using Trezor Suite, crypto exchanges, and decentralized applications (dApps). Whether you're managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, or a wide range of altcoins, Trezor Bridge ensures a stable and encrypted channel for data exchange.

• Supports Trezor Suite for managing, sending, and receiving crypto.
• No need for Chrome extensions, which are being phased out.
