Chrome is now shipping updates every 2 weeks as AI changes the security landscape

Google switches Chrome to two-week release cycles starting with Chrome 153, shrinking the N-day patch gap as AI-driven threats accelerate.

Chrome officially moved from a four-week to a two-week release schedule with Tuesday's launch of Chrome 153 on desktop, iOS, and Android. Google ties the change to its evolving security strategy, saying faster releases shrink the N-day patch gap as AI tools and community bug reports increase patch volume. Mozilla, Microsoft, and Brave have already adopted the two-week cadence, and Google is also racing AI-native browsers like Brave, Dia, Opera Neon, and Perplexity's Comet while experimenting with AI features in Chrome.

Apple iCloud Private Relay Can Expose Real IPs Through WebKit Proxy Bypasses

Researchers found WebKit features bypass proxies and iCloud Private Relay, leaking users' real IP addresses; Apple patched in iOS 26.6.1 and macOS 26.6.2.

Researchers Talal Haj Bakry and Tommy Mysk found that three WebKit features — DNS prefetching, WebAuthn Related Origin Requests, and WebTransport — bypass configured proxies and send traffic directly from the device. This leaks the user's real IP address in Safari and all WebKit-based iOS browsers and undermines iCloud Private Relay's dual-hop privacy design. Any website can trigger the leak via WebAuthn without user interaction or passkey use; a proof-of-concept site, leaks.psylo.app, demonstrates the issue. Apple investigated and patched the leaks in iOS 26.6.1 and macOS 26.6.2.
