9to5Google • • technology
Key Points:
- Google Chrome has shifted to a two-week release cycle for major updates, down from the previous four-week cycle, aiming to deliver new features, performance improvements, and bug fixes more rapidly.
- The faster update cadence means smaller updates per release but allows developers to deploy modern web features and safety improvements more quickly and with greater confidence.
- Google highlights that the increased frequency aids in faster regression isolation and better protection against fast-moving security threats, particularly with the rise of AI.
- Enterprise users can opt for the "Extended Stable" channel, which updates every eight weeks, though Google recommends most enterprises use the standard two-week Stable channel.
- Chrome 153 is rolling out now across desktop, Android, and iOS, with version 154 scheduled for release on September 22.
