For five years, Google has kept its browser on a four-week release schedule for new major versions.
Google’s Chrome browser is slated to move to a bi-weekly release schedule, delivering new versions every two weeks starting in September, the company has announced. This change comes after Chrome maintained a four-week release schedule for major versions since 2021.
The company explained that the motivation behind this accelerated two-week cycle is to ensure more rapid deployment of performance enhancements, bug fixes, security updates, and new features for both users and developers.
Despite the increased frequency of updates, each individual update will feature fewer changes. This, Google indicated, is expected to reduce the potential for issues and simplify the troubleshooting process for any post-launch problems.
This updated release model will be introduced with Chrome 153, with its stable version scheduled for release on September 8, 2026. The shift will impact Chrome across desktop, Android, and iOS platforms.
