h5 · What it was

h2 · What is/was “Trezor Bridge”?

Trezor Bridge was a small background program that enabled your computer and browser to communicate with a Trezor hardware wallet. It acted as a connector between your device and web interfaces that didn’t natively support USB access.

h3 · Why it mattered

  • Allowed reliable device detection from the browser.
  • Provided a consistent channel for secure communications.
  • Reduced reliance on older, less secure browser plugins.
h5 · Status update

h2 · Standalone Bridge is deprecated

The standalone “Bridge” app is no longer required for most users. Modern connectivity is handled by Trezor Suite (desktop or web) and standards like WebUSB in supported browsers. If you still have the legacy Bridge installed, it’s recommended to remove it and use Suite for the smoothest, safest experience.

Always prefer official Trezor software and URLs. Beware of clones or look‑alike sites.

h3 · Browser access (WebUSB)

  • Use a Chromium‑based browser with WebUSB (e.g., Chrome).
  • When prompted, select your device from the secure USB picker.
  • Confirm actions on the Trezor’s screen; never on unverified sites.
  • If the browser can’t detect your device, fall back to Suite desktop.

h5 · Watch out

h2 · Phishing & look‑alike “Bridge” pages

Scam sites may claim to be “Trezor Bridge” and prompt fake downloads. The legitimate connectivity method is through Trezor Suite and WebUSB. Do not enter recovery seeds into any website or extension. Your seed belongs only inside the physical device.

h4 · Red flags

  • Non‑trezor.io domains (e.g., random Google Sites, teaching platforms, or misspellings).
  • Demands to type your recovery seed into a web form or app.
  • Unsigned downloads or “security checks” requiring payment.

h5 · FAQ

h2 · Frequently Asked Questions

h3 · Do I still need to install Trezor Bridge?

No. The legacy Bridge is deprecated. Use Trezor Suite desktop or supported browsers with WebUSB.

h3 · Is Suite required for Web3 dApps?

For many flows the Suite desktop or web app provides the most secure foundation. Some dApps may integrate via the Trezor Connect API; always verify the site and confirm operations on your device’s screen.

h3 · My browser can’t see my device—now what?

Close other wallet apps, unplug/replug the cable, try another USB port/cable, and open Trezor Suite desktop. Ensure OS permissions allow USB access.
