What happened
Collection of Google Security Blog announcements (late 2025–early 2026) covering multiple defensive and ecosystem changes: Chrome is launching a program to make HTTPS quantum-resistant by working on Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) with the IETF PLANTS working group rather than immediately adding post-quantum X.509 roots to the Chrome Root Store, addressing Certificate Transparency scalability and bandwidth concerns. The Chrome Root Program and CA/Browser Forum ballots will phase out 11 legacy Domain Control Validation (DCV) methods (full effect by March 2028). Chrome also published defenses to
