Since 2023, Google has released weekly security updates for the Chrome browser, but the company is now testing a twice-per-week cadence to stay ahead of "AI-powered attacks." The report includes a graph that shows the number of security bugs fixed in Chrome’s stable releases has skyrocketed in recent months. To meet this moment, we are piloting a shift to two security releases per week,” the company said, later telling PCMag, "We are piloting it currently." Although increasing the security release cadence promises to protect users, it also means users need to restart their Chrome browser for the fixes to take full effect. One method, called “dynamic patching,” promises to replace background processes with updated binaries “on the fly,” eliminating the need to restart Chrome.
