Google Chrome will move from a four-week to a two-week release cycle starting with Chrome 153 on September 8, delivering two stable releases per month across Desktop, Android, and iOS to speed up feature, bug, and performance updates. Dev and Canary channels will keep their current cadence and Extended Stable will remain on an eight-week cycle for enterprises, while weekly security fixes continue and users should expect more frequent rollouts and occasional restart prompts. #GoogleChrome #CVE-2026-2441
