Trezor Bridge® vs Browser Extensions: Why the Bridge Wins for Security 🔐🌐

Many crypto wallets use browser extensions. So why does Trezor rely on a separate Trezor Bridge? Because when it comes to security, the Bridge is unbeatable.

Here’s why.

🌉 What Is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a local service that creates a secure connection between your browser and your hardware wallet.

Unlike browser extensions, it’s:

• Not exposed to browser vulnerabilities
• Doesn’t inject scripts into websites
• Runs independently of the browser

🧩 Browser Extensions Are a Risk

Many Web3 wallets (like MetaMask) rely on extensions, but they have drawbacks:

❌ Vulnerable to malicious scripts
❌ Susceptible to phishing
❌ Easily spoofed by fake versions
❌ Risk of auto-connect permissions

In contrast, Trezor Bridge never touches your browsing sessions — keeping your device and transactions isolated and safe.

🔐 Full Local Security

Trezor Bridge:

• Operates on your local device only
• Doesn’t require cloud syncing
• Doesn’t store personal info
• Only interacts when you approve on the physical Trezor

It’s a zero-trust model: no approval = no action. 💪

🧑‍💻 Ideal for Advanced Users Too

Developers and power users love Trezor Bridge for:

• Testing dApps
• Using Trezor with Electrum, Exodus, and Web3 tools
• Full control over how, when, and where the wallet connects

It’s reliable, customizable, and trusted.

🏁 Final Thought

If you want your Trezor hardware wallet to run with maximum security, Trezor Bridge is the way to go. It avoids risky browser practices while keeping everything smooth and streamlined.
