🔗 What is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background service that enables secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and supported web browsers. It acts as a bridge between the Trezor Wallet interface and your physical device, allowing you to manage your cryptocurrencies safely.
Unlike browser extensions, Trezor Bridge runs as a standalone application in the background, providing a more stable and secure connection. It automatically detects when you connect your Trezor device and facilitates communication with web-based cryptocurrency services.
