Google is changing Chrome to a more frequent release schedule. The company will launch future milestone releases that add new features every four weeks. These updates happen every six weeks at the moment. Google said you can thank them for the improvements in their testing and release processes for the new schedule. The move puts Chrome in line with Firefox, which has been on a monthly update pace since the beginning of last year.
However, to accommodate corporate customers who may not want to see changes so often, Google is also adding an “Extended Stable” option that will cause these users to receive feature updates every eight weeks. The company will still send security patches to those who choose this schedule on a fortnightly basis, but they will not include new features. Google plans to switch to the four-week cycle starting with Chrome 94 in the third quarter of 2021.
