What happened
A set of Google Security Blog posts outlining multiple platform and ecosystem security initiatives: Chrome is pursuing quantum-safe HTTPS via Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) developed in the IETF PLANTS working group rather than immediately adding traditional post‑quantum X.509 certs to the Chrome Root Store; the Chrome Root Program and CA/Browser Forum ballots will phase out 11 legacy Domain Control Validation methods (full benefit by March 2028); Chrome is also designing layered defenses for agentic browsing and indirect prompt injection tied to Gemini. On Android, Google described expanded,
