The new Trezor Bridge has been completely rewritten using modern programming techniques, resulting in a faster and more secure application. This overhaul is not just a routine update but a comprehensive enhancement that aims to future-proof the Bridge against emerging security threats and ensure seamless operation across various platforms. The development team's effort in creating a robust tool underscores Trezor's commitment to providing top-notch security and reliability for its users.
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.
User Guidance for the Transition
For current users of the Trezor Chrome extension, the shift to the new Bridge is straightforward. While there's no immediate need for action, users are encouraged to uninstall the Chrome extension and let the Trezor Wallet install the new Bridge.
