What happened
A collection of Google security updates and initiatives across Chrome and Android. Key items: Chrome announced a program to pursue quantum-safe HTTPS by developing Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) via the IETF PLANTS working group instead of immediately adding post‑quantum X.509 roots to the Chrome Root Store, to address TLS/Certificate Transparency performance and bandwidth challenges. The Chrome Root Program and CA/Browser Forum are phasing out 11 legacy Domain Validation methods (ballots SC-080/SC-090/SC-091) with a transition through March 2028. Android updates include expanded AI-driven,
