Who cares about the version number? Come on. People don‘t pick a browser based on a too high or too low version number.

  Exactly my point. Mozilla used a rational numbering scheme where the larger the change, the larger the increment, with full integers being reserved for major changes. Then Chrome started changing its integer every few weeks and Firefox upended its own scheme to keep from looking unfashionable.

    Between auto-updates and the numbers changing very often, I'm not even slightly aware of the current version numbers for Chrome or Firefox.

    For a rolling-release model like this a scheme could include the date released, e.g. Firefox 20.07.x which is also used by Linux distros. Right now version numbers are pretty useless.

      Version numbers aren't useless. It's just that there's an insane fad going around that only the latest iteration of something is suppose to be used.
