Google accelerates Chrome updates to every two weeks, citing AI-driven security strategy

Google is speeding up Chrome's update cycle from monthly to every two weeks, linking the change to AI-assisted discovery of vulnerabilities.

• Google announced Chrome will issue stable updates every two weeks instead of monthly, starting with Chrome 153 on desktop, Android, and iOS.
• The company said the new cadence is part of a security strategy responding to rising vulnerability detection using AI models.
• Google's security team used Gemini-based AI agents to find and fix 1,072 vulnerabilities in Chrome, many in the Chromium library.
• The team discovered a sandbox vulnerability hidden for over 13 years that allowed code to escape the isolated test environment and access browser data.
