Trezor Bridge is a software application developed by Trezor that facilitates secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and desktop applications, such as Trezor Suite. It acts as a bridge to ensure seamless connectivity, especially for users on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems where direct USB communication might be restricted by browser or OS limitations.
As of recent updates, the standalone Trezor Bridge has been deprecated in favor of integrated functionality within the Trezor Suite app. This change enhances user experience by eliminating the need for separate installations and reducing potential compatibility issues. Users are encouraged to uninstall the standalone version to avoid interference with future releases.
To uninstall on Windows: Navigate to Program Files > TREZOR Bridge and run uninstall.exe. Verify removal by checking for no results in the command prompt.
Security is paramount with Trezor products. The Bridge ensures that your private keys remain on the device while allowing safe transaction signing and wallet management. Even if downloaded from official sources, always verify addresses on your Trezor screen to prevent any potential threats.
Transition to the modern Trezor Suite app for buying, selling, staking, and swapping cryptocurrencies with full control. No prior experience needed—start managing your assets in minutes.
