Trezor Bridge® — Connect Your Trezor to Web Browsers

Trezor Bridge is the secure, official way to connect your Trezor hardware wallet to popular browsers and web-based wallet interfaces for encrypted crypto management.

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight, trusted utility designed by SatoshiLabs for securely connecting your Trezor device to your web browser or compatible wallet application. It operates in the background, acting as an encrypted gateway so your hardware wallet can safely communicate with browser apps like Trezor Suite (Web), MetaMask, MyEtherWallet, and many crypto dApps, without exposing private keys[web:49][web:50][web:35].

Why Do You Need Trezor Bridge?

  • Many operating systems and browsers restrict native USB connections for security; Trezor Bridge serves as a secure interface to bypass those restrictions[web:49][web:35].
  • If your browser wallet ever says “device not found,” installing Bridge is usually the solution[web:49].
  • Bridge enables web crypto apps to interact with your Trezor without ever accessing your private keys or recovery seed[web:49].
  • Critical for those who prefer browser wallets versus using the standalone Trezor Suite desktop app[web:49][web:33].
Trezor Bridge ensures all communication remains encrypted and physically verified — protecting your coins at every step!

How to Install and Use Trezor Bridge

  1. Download the latest installer for your OS (Windows, MacOS, Linux) from the official Trezor Bridge page.
  2. Run the installation file. It completes in seconds, with Bridge launching automatically in the background.
  3. Plug your Trezor device in via USB. Open your preferred web wallet (Trezor Suite Web, MetaMask, etc.).
  4. Allow browser permissions if prompted. Your wallet will detect the Trezor automatically via Bridge.
  5. Always check and approve transactions physically on your Trezor screen for maximum security.
Only download Bridge from official sources. Never enter your recovery phrase or PIN, and don’t approve transactions if the device display does not match what you expect!

Quick Troubleshooting Guide

  • Restart your computer after Bridge installation if your device is not recognized[web:49].
  • Change USB ports, use another cable, and close conflicting browser extensions if issues persist.
  • Re-download Bridge or update to the latest Trezor firmware.
  • Disable third-party extensions that block native USB or interfere with Bridge communication.

Security Advantages

  • Keys Stay Offline: Trezor Bridge ensures private keys never touch your computer or browser, even if it’s compromised[web:49][web:50].
  • Signed Actions: Every wallet action must be confirmed by physically pressing a button on your device.
  • Open Source: Transparent, auditable code for maximum trust[web:49].
  • Integrates With Official APIs: Only allows legitimate wallet apps (like Trezor Suite) to communicate with your hardware wallet[web:49][web:50].
