Chrome moves to a two-week release cycle, citing AI-driven vulnerability discovery
laparisa · x · 2026-09-09
Chrome has shifted from a four-week to a two-week release cycle starting with Chrome 153 on desktop, Android, and iOS. The post traces browser cadence history: IE6 went 5+ years without a major update after 2001, Chrome pioneered 6-week releases in 2010 and moved to 4 weeks in 2021. Google says automated AI vulnerability discovery generates more patches, and shorter cycles get security fixes to users faster; Microsoft, Mozilla, and Brave are adopting similar cadences.
