Google Speeds Chrome Milestone Releases to Every Two Weeks Starting Sept. 8

Google frames the shift as a way to speed delivery of features plus fixes without sacrificing stability.

Overview

  • The new cadence begins with Chrome 153 stable on September 8, 2026, with a fresh beta and stable build releasing every two weeks.
  • The schedule covers desktop, Android, and iOS, with no changes to the Dev or Canary channels.
  • Weekly security updates continue between milestone releases to address urgent vulnerabilities.
  • A Chrome Beta for each version ships three weeks before stable, and Google urges developers to test against it.
  • Enterprise users and Chromium embedders keep the eight-week Extended Stable option, and Chromebooks receive releases after dedicated platform testing with extended options available.
