🔐 What is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a lightweight software that allows your computer’s web browser (like Chrome, Firefox, or Edge) to communicate securely with your Trezor hardware wallet.
It acts as a bridge between your Trezor device and your Trezor Suite (or older wallet interface) — enabling you to manage your crypto assets directly from your browser.
