Trezor Bridge is a software application that facilitates secure communication between a Trezor hardware wallet and supported web browsers. It runs in the background and requires no direct interaction from the user.
Key points about Trezor Bridge:
It eliminates the risk of hacking or cyber-attacks by providing a secure communication channel between the Trezor device and the browser.
Trezor Bridge is rewritten from scratch using modern code, making it faster, more secure, and more reliable compared to the previous version.
It is the first step in transitioning away from the Trezor Chrome extension, which will become obsolete due to Google phasing out Chrome apps.
Trezor Bridge is compatible with Google Chrome (including Chromium) and Firefox.
It is recommended to download Trezor Bridge from the official Trezor website to ensure authenticity and security.
Even if a compromised version of Trezor Bridge is downloaded, it cannot steal funds from the Trezor device due to the hardware's secure barrier. However, it's important to note that the user's computer may be compromised by any software installed.
To check if Trezor Bridge is running, users can look for the "trezord" process in the background on Windows (Task Manager), macOS (Activity Monitor), or Linux (System Monitor).
In summary, Trezor Bridge is a crucial component for securely connecting Trezor hardware wallets to web browsers and managing cryptocurrency assets
