What happened
Collection of Google security updates: Chrome announces a program to make HTTPS quantum-resistant by pursuing Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) via the IETF PLANTS work rather than immediately adding post‑quantum X.509 roots to the Chrome Root Store, highlighting performance/CT bandwidth concerns. Chrome/Root Program and CA/Browser Forum ballots will phase out 11 legacy Domain Control Validation methods (phased deprecation through March 2028) to harden certificate issuance. Android-focused posts describe expanded scam protections and AI-backed defenses, Google Play’s 2025 app-safety results (1.7
