The secure communication layer that connects your Trezor hardware wallet to your browser and desktop applications.
What is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background service that enables seamless communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and supported web applications such as Trezor Suite. It replaces older browser plugins and ensures a secure, stable connection between your device and your computer.
Trezor Bridge runs locally on your system and does not store your private keys.

Security Best Practices
