Trezor Bridge: Enhancing Connectivity and Security

The world of cryptocurrency hardware wallets is continuously evolving, and Trezor, a pioneer in this field, remains at the forefront with its latest update: the new Trezor Bridge. This updated communication tool is a crucial development for Trezor users, offering significant enhancements in terms of speed, security, and reliability. This blog delves into the specifics of the new Trezor Bridge, its implications for users, and the broader context of Trezor's transition away from Chrome extensions.

Transitioning from Chrome Extensions

A significant reason for this update is the imminent phase-out of Chrome applications by Google. The Trezor Chrome extension, a popular tool among users, will soon become obsolete. In anticipation of this change, Trezor is shifting towards using the Bridge as the primary means of connecting Trezor devices with web browsers. This transition is crucial for maintaining compatibility and functionality as browser technologies evolve.

The new Trezor Bridge is designed to work seamlessly with Google Chrome (and its variants like Chromium) and Firefox. This broad compatibility ensures that users can continue to access their Trezor Wallets without interruption, regardless of the browser they prefer.
