What happened
This collection of Google Security Blog posts announces a set of proactive ecosystem and product security changes across Chrome and Android. Chrome: Google is driving a quantum-safe HTTPS program (in collaboration with the IETF PLANTS working group) that advances Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) and avoids immediate addition of traditional post-quantum X.509 certs to the Chrome Root Store; it also reiterates Certificate Transparency/CT performance concerns and Chrome Root Program actions to phase out 11 legacy Domain Control Validation (DCV) methods per CA/Browser Forum ballots SC-080/SC-090/SC
