Earlier this year, Google announced that it will be shifting to a 4-week stable update release cycle for Chrome browser starting in Q3. Now, months later, the company announces a similar change for Chrome OS.
Right now, Google releases a new Chome OS stable update every 6 weeks. According to a new announcement post (via 9to5Google) by Chrome OS release TPM lead Marina Kazatcker, the duration will be reduced to 4 weeks, starting with M96 in Q4.
With this move, the company aims to rapidly deliver new features to customers. Also, the search giant will continue to prioritize the key pillars of Chrome OS – security, stability, speed, and simplicity.
Further, Google will be also introducing a new 6-month stable update channel for enterprise and education users after the release of M96 in Q4. This will be really helpful for administrators who manage a vast number of devices.
As mentioned in the beginning, the Chrome browser will be moving to the 4-week release in Q3 with M94. As a result, to bridge the gap between this and the Chrome OS 4-week release from Q4 with M96, Google will be skipping M95 for Chrome OS.
