What happened
Collection of Google Security Blog posts covering multiple defensive initiatives: Chrome is pursuing quantum-safe HTTPS by collaborating in the IETF PLANTS working group on Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) and will not immediately add traditional post‑quantum X.509 certs to the Chrome Root Store to avoid CT/TLS scalability issues. Other highlights include strengthened Android protections (expanded scam defenses, theft-protection enhancements, and GPU hardening in partnership with Arm to reduce kernel attack surface), expanded Google Play AI-powered app safety measures and developer account bans
