It enables seamless communication between your device and computer, ensuring your private keys remain secure and never leave the hardware wallet.

• Reliable recognition of your Trezor device.
• Encrypted communication between your wallet and the Trezor Suite app.
• Smoother crypto transactions and management.
• Enhanced security through verified software signatures.

Alternatives: WebUSB Support

Modern browsers such as Chrome and Edge support WebUSB, which lets you connect your Trezor device without Bridge. However, Trezor Bridge remains the most stable and universally compatible solution, particularly for desktop applications and Linux users.
