What happened
Collection of Google/Chrome security announcements (late 2025–Feb 2026) describing multiple defensive initiatives rather than disclosure of specific active vulnerabilities. Highlights: Chrome/PLANTS work on quantum-safe HTTPS via Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) to avoid oversized post‑quantum X.509 chains and preserve Certificate Transparency/scale; Chrome Root Program and CA/Browser Forum ballots to phase out 11 legacy Domain Control Validation (DCV) methods (full effect by March 2028); Android improvements in scam protection and Google Play enforcement using AI (blocking millions of abusive/
