Starting in September, Google’s Chrome browser will receive a new release every two weeks, the company has announced. Since 2021, Chrome has been on a four-week release schedule for new major versions.

The rationale for the faster two-week cycle is to enable faster delivery of performance improvements, bug fixes, security updates, and new features to both users and developers, the company said.

Although updates will be more frequent, each individual update will contain fewer changes; that, according to Google, should reduce the risk of problems and make it easier to troubleshoot any issues after launch.

The new cadence model will begin with Chrome 153, whose stable version is scheduled for release on Sept. 8, 2026. The change applies to Chrome versions for the desktop, Android, and iOS.
