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.
