What happened
Collection of Google Security Blog posts (Feb 2025–Feb 2026) covering multiple platform- and ecosystem-level security initiatives and mitigations. Key items: Chrome announces a program to enable quantum‑safe HTTPS using Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) and says it will not immediately add traditional post‑quantum X.509 roots to the Chrome Root Store; Chrome and the IETF PLANTS working group are prototyping MTCs to reduce TLS/CT bandwidth and performance impacts of post‑quantum cryptography. The Chrome Root Program and CA/Browser Forum ballots will deprecate 11 legacy Domain Control Validation (
