Chrome bumped its versioning numbers to overtake Firefox back in the day, that’s how we ended up with stupid version numbers like 124.1.2 instead of meaningful versions.

Will the trend stop before we have to start using scientific notation?

I’ve started using CalVer (so a relase in October 2026 would be numbered 26.10). This is just so much better for end-user applications.

Not really, Chromium’s version just increased by one with every release. It’s kinda the same as the second number in the semver designation.

And then Firefox changed its version numbering policy to “catch up”. I lost a shred of respect for them that day.
