🔐 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.

🖥️ Why Do You Need Trezor Bridge?

• Browser Compatibility: Modern browsers have limited USB device access for security reasons. Trezor Bridge bypasses this limitation.
