Google Planning to Push Chrome Updates Every Four Weeks Instead of Current Six-Week Cycle

Google updates its web browser Chrome every six weeks, be it an update related to security, stability, and speed. Apart from this, Google said that it will release smaller security focused updates every two weeks now. ?As we have improved our testing and release processes for Chrome, and deployed bi-weekly security updates to improve our patch gap, it became clear that we could shorten our release cycle and deliver new features more quickly,” Google said in a blog post. Recently, a cyber security researcher has discovered a malicious Google Chrome extension that was abusing the Chrome Sync process that can help hackers steal user data.
