Unlike other methods that require browser plugins, Trezor Bridge offers an efficient and secure solution without compromising your privacy or security.
Why Do You Need Trezor Bridge?
If you're using Trezor hardware wallets like the Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T, Trezor Bridge is critical for seamless interaction between the wallet and Trezor's online interface, Trezor Suite.
