What happened
This collection of Google/Chrome security posts announces multiple proactive security initiatives across web, Android, and Chrome: Chrome is developing quantum-resistant HTTPS via Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) with the IETF PLANTS working group rather than immediately adding post-quantum X.509 roots, citing Certificate Transparency and performance tradeoffs. The Chrome Root Program and CA/Browser Forum are phasing out 11 legacy Domain Control Validation (DCV) methods (per ballots SC-080/SC-090/SC-091) with a transition through March 2028. Android protections were expanded: AI-driven scam/mal
