GoKawiilGoogle Chrome moves to two-week major release cycle, starting with version 153
Google has shifted Chrome from its four-week milestone update schedule to a two-week cycle, with version 153 rolling out now across desktop, Android, and iOS. Each release will carry a smaller set of changes, but updates will arrive twice as often, with version 154 already slated for September 22.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Faster releases mean web developers get quicker access to new features and interoperability fixes, while smaller per-release scope should make it easier to isolate bugs when something breaks. Google also frames the change as a security necessity, arguing that faster shipping cycles help counter AI-accelerated threats, though enterprises can still opt for the slower eight-week Extended Stable channel.
- Chrome now updates major versions every two weeks instead of four.
- Smaller, more frequent updates aim to speed up bug fixes and feature rollout.
- Enterprises can stick with the eight-week Extended Stable channel instead.
