Overview
- The new cadence begins with Chrome 153 on September 8, covering beta and stable releases on desktop, Android, and iOS.
- Dev and Canary schedules remain unchanged, and the Extended Stable track continues on an eight-week cycle for enterprises and Chromium embedders.
- ChromeOS will shift to the faster rhythm after dedicated platform testing, with specific timing still to come.
- Weekly security updates persist, and each Chrome beta will ship roughly three weeks ahead of stable to support developer testing.
