Iris 156.0.8078.11-1 (Chromium 156)

Moved to stable branch

New

Strict post-quantum mode, off by default. It forces ML-KEM-1024 key exchange and AES-256 only. Find it in Settings → Privacy and security → Security. Some sites won't load with it on.
114 colour palettes: 57 light and 57 dark.
13 browser identities per site, including Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari and Samsung Internet on desktop, Android and iPhone.
28 search engines in every country, privacy-first. Every one connects over TLS 1.3.
The app-lock screen follows your theme.
A faster desktop build, using profile-guided optimisation.

Settings

Shorter and cleaner: Safety Hub trimmed, no Translate, no Enhanced protection, a simpler autofill page.

Security

Remote debugging is blocked and --load-extension is ignored.
XSLT is off.

Android

Fixed the "Aw, Snap" crashes on YouTube and sign-up pages.
No more endless spinner or Iris tips card on the home screen.
Removed the Settings search bar, which made sub-pages jump.
Removed the Google services pages, Safety check and Developer options.
Fewer permissions and open doors: no Gemini trigger, no NFC tag handling, and your bookmarks and history aren't shared with other apps.
