Trezor Bridge is an application that facilitates communication between the Trezor hardware wallet device and supported web browsers. It is a program designed to run in the background and requires no direct interaction from the user. When properly installed, you will be able to find the "trezord" process running in the background on your operating system.Trezor Bridge is necessary because while newer Trezor devices support WebUSB, which should eliminate the need for a bridge, there are still some reasons why the bridge is still needed:
Firefox does not allow WebUSB
Older Trezor devices from 2018 and before only support HID and not WebUSB
WebUSB does not allow synchronization of USB access between domains
To install and run Trezor Bridge from source, you can follow the instructions provided on the GitHub repository. Trezor Bridge starts an HTTP server on localhost port 21325 and provides an API for communicating with the Trezor device.The Trezor Chrome extension was a predecessor to Trezor Bridge, but it is now deprecated and only works with the Trezor Model One if Trezor Bridge is not installed. It is strongly recommended to use Trezor Bridge and the Trezor Suite application instead, as they are regularly updated.
