Google Chrome starts two-week release cycle with version 153

Google Chrome has adopted a new two-week release cycle, starting with version 153, according to recent updates. Previously, the browser saw major "milestone" updates every four weeks, but that frequency has been accelerated to deliver new features, performance improvements, and bug fixes more rapidly. While each update contains less content, the increased cadence aims to benefit the entire web.
Developers will be able to confidently deploy modern web features due to tighter deployment windows, quicker interoperability updates, and faster safety improvements reaching users across platforms. The scope of each release is smaller, which will make regression isolation faster. For security purposes, this change will help protect against fast-moving threats, especially considering the rise of AI.
Enterprise customers can opt for the "Extended Stable" channel, which updates every eight weeks, with Chrome 156 followed by version 160. Most enterprise users should be on the two-week Stable option. Chrome 153 is currently available on desktop, Android, and iOS, with version 154 set to launch on September 22.
