What happened
Collection of Google security updates: Chrome is developing quantum-resistant HTTPS via Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) in the IETF PLANTS WG and does not plan to immediately add traditional post‑quantum X.509 certs to the Chrome Root Store. The CA/Browser Forum and Chrome Root Program are phasing out 11 legacy Domain Control Validation methods (ballots SC-080, SC-090, SC-091) with full deprecation phased in through March 2028. Android updates include strengthened scam protections using AI, new Google Play app-safety results (prevented ~1.75M policy-violating apps and banned ~80K developer/att
