🔥 What Is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is the official software service that securely links your Trezor hardware wallet to modern web browsers and desktop apps. Serving as the essential intermediary, it enables USB communication while protecting your device from browser-level restrictions and attacks :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}.
🌍 Why You Need It
