What happened
Collection of Google Security Blog updates (late 2025–early 2026): Chrome announced a program to make HTTPS quantum-safe by developing Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) with the IETF PLANTS working group rather than immediately adding post‑quantum X.509 certs to the Chrome Root Store; CT and performance concerns drive the approach. The Chrome Root Program and CA/Browser Forum are phasing out 11 legacy Domain Control Validation (DCV) methods (full effect by March 2028). Android security updates include stronger scam protections using AI (preventing billions of malicious calls/messages monthly), 1
