Trezor Bridge vs. WebUSB: What’s Better?

Some newer systems support WebUSB, which lets browsers directly talk to USB devices. However, WebUSB can be unstable or unsupported on certain platforms or browsers. Trezor Bridge, by contrast, is highly reliable and universally compatible.

For maximum compatibility and security, especially for desktop users, Trezor Bridge is the preferred choice.

Security Benefits of Trezor Bridge

Security is Trezor’s top priority—and Trezor Bridge plays a key role in that ecosystem. Here’s how:

• Local Communication Only No sensitive data is ever stored or transmitted online. The communication happens locally on your device.
• Prevents Malicious Browser Extensions By eliminating the need for browser extensions, Trezor Bridge reduces the risk of man-in-the-middle attacks.
• Signed Software The installation files are signed by Trezor, ensuring they’re genuine and unmodified.

Troubleshooting Trezor Bridge

If your Trezor device isn’t detected:

• Ensure Trezor Bridge is installed and running.
• Restart your browser.
• Try a different USB cable or port.
• Check your antivirus or firewall settings—they might block local communication.
