Google has announced that its browser release speed will significantly improve starting from Chrome 119. The company made this announcement as it confirms the major redesign to its Web Store which is now available in preview mode. According to the company, it will reduce the version release interval of its browser starting from Chrome 119 which will arrive in October. This change is based on the “success” of the first round of shortening the time plan launched in April. The development team’s goal remains to “shorten the time to launch new versions”.
Starting from Chrome 119 in October, the time between the code branch and the Beta version will be shortened by one week. So the “early stable version” and “stable version” will be released about a week earlier. The versions after Chrome 119 will also be released earlier than currently expected.
