Nice way to say, "we dumbed it down and removed useful features."
Firefox has been steadily closing the version number gap over the past few years. Today, there's Firefox 100 next to Chrome 101. Firefox will probably lap them sometime this year. Firefox 105 planned release on August 23rd, but Chromium 105 on August 30th.
I think you're reading the beta version number to the left instead of the release version number to the right as that date is for the release of 104.
Both are on a 4 week release cycle now so it's up to any delays to change the gap.
It's about being able to ship new features when they are ready, instead of waiting for a 'major' new version.
This release cycle makes the most sense for 'evergreen' software like a web browser. There's a reason why every major browser has adopted it.
The only version that matters for a web browser is the 'latest' version.
Easy answer... they stopped going from 1.01 to 1.02... and instead went from v1.02 to v6.6
You should celebrate 10000 when you get there, since that would probably be appropriate considering your preferred scheme.

I've been working on it for about 5 years, though I recently did a purge of the git history during a rename.
The link is in my profile, and the repo can be found by searching that string on google (with quotes) plus github :)
