Trezor Bridge® — Connect Your Trezor to Web Browsers

Introduction
Trezor Bridge® is a critical software component that ensures secure and seamless communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and web browsers. It acts as a bridge, connecting your Trezor device to applications such as Trezor Suite and supported web services, enabling users to manage cryptocurrencies safely and efficiently.

Why Trezor Bridge is Essential
Trezor hardware wallets are widely regarded as one of the most secure methods for storing cryptocurrencies. However, hardware alone cannot interact directly with web-based platforms.

This makes managing digital assets safe, fast, and convenient.
