What happened
A batch of Google Security Blog posts announcing multiple proactive security initiatives and policy changes: Chrome is pursuing scalable quantum-resistant HTTPS via Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) and will not immediately add traditional post‑quantum X.509 certs to the Chrome Root Store; Chrome and the CA/Browser Forum are phasing out legacy Domain Control Validation methods through 2028 to strengthen certificate issuance; Android protections were strengthened across scams, app ecosystem policing (Google Play AI defenses, app removals and developer bans), theft protection features (failed-auth
