Firefox needs to chill on the version numbers

Blame Chrome for ruining versioning

Honestly I think this is more on Apple for using “os x” for two decades

Blame users for not understanding semantic versioning and just wanting a bigger number.

Remember that time the users were right?

They're not the ones that moved to whole number versioning

Version numbers are almost meaningless for end-user software anyway. Add 1 every time it changes is about the best you can do.

Nvidia needs to chill on the version numbers, their graphics driver is currently at version 537 lol

I remember using Nvidia drivers in the 70s years ago. I also remember thinking it was crazy when they rolled over 100. 😂

it was crazy when they rolled over 100

It was the same with Firefox and Chromium when they hit version 100. Some developers were scared that websites would start crashing because of the three digit version string in the user-agent.

I think it's alright, sure it's not conventional but you get the point after all and non techy people also get the point. bigger number = highest update
