What happened
A collection of Google Security Blog posts (late 2025–early 2026) describing platform and ecosystem security initiatives rather than specific vulnerabilities. Key items: Chrome is pursuing a quantum-safe HTTPS evolution using Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) via the IETF PLANTS working group and does not plan to add traditional PQ X.509 certs to the Chrome Root Store immediately; the CA/Browser Forum and Chrome Root Program are phasing out legacy Domain Control Validation (DCV) methods (ballots SC-080/SC-090/SC-091) with full effect by March 2028. Android updates include expanded AI-driven scam
