What happened
Collection of Google security blog posts describing defensive roadmaps and feature updates across Chrome and Android. Key highlights: Chrome is pursuing a quantum-safe evolution of HTTPS via Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) developed in the IETF PLANTS working group and will not immediately add traditional post-quantum X.509 certs to the Chrome Root Store; Certificate Authorities and Chrome are phasing out 11 legacy Domain Control Validation (DCV) methods per CAB Forum ballots with full deprecation by March 2028. Android updates include expanded AI-powered scam protections (call/text/in-call/in
