What happened
Collection of Google/Chrome security updates covering multiple high-impact initiatives: Chrome is pursuing quantum-safe HTTPS via Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) in the IETF PLANTS working group rather than immediately adding post-quantum X.509 certs to the Chrome Root Store, to address performance and Certificate Transparency scale issues. The CA/Browser Forum (via ballots SC-080, SC-090, SC-091) will phase out 11 legacy Domain Control Validation methods (fully realized by March 2028). Android protections were expanded: AI-driven scam defenses blocking billions of malicious calls/messages, 1.
