Installation is straightforward and takes only minutes. Download the Bridge application for your operating system, run the installer, and the software will automatically configure itself to work with your browser. The Bridge supports all major platforms including Windows, macOS, and Linux, ensuring universal accessibility for Trezor users worldwide.
