That said, Google has a message for Chrome users: However, with the advancement of both skills and technology on the hacker’s end, they are now shifting to a weekly security release. After Chrome 77, they switched to a bi-weekly schedule to mitigate the risk of zero-day exploits. The major version upgrade for CHrome will remain on a 4-week schedule.īefore Chrome version 77, Google published security updates every 35 days. This would mean that you can now upgrade your Chrome version (while remaining within the same major version) on a weekly basis, which would install the latest security patches and mitigate any vulnerabilities.

However, in their security announcement, they now plan to switch to a weekly schedule for releasing security updates.
