Out of curiosity;

Google Chrome was released about 37 months ago. 15 versions were released since then, so Google averaged about 15/37 versions per month, the "Chrome constant." Lynx was released in 1992, around 228 months ago. 228(15/37)=v92. So, were Lynx to have used an approximately similar version enumeration to Chrome, it would currently be at around version 92.

Similarly:

  Opera: 178 * (CC) = v72

  Konqueror: 180 * (CC) = v72

  Firefox: 83 * (CC) = v33

  Internet Explorer: 194 * (CC) = v78

  Safari: 105 * (CC) = v42

  Lynx: 228 * (CC) = v92

Another note of interest is that almost all of these browsers had their respective releases in September or October.

Interesting to see those numbers :)

What is also good is that the first few comments aren't "why is Chrome bumping the major version number so soon?" like we used to see with every Chrome and Firefox release. Maybe the internet is starting to move past that ;)

I agree that it's interesting to see these numbers.

But, take into account that Chrome sees much more intensive development than all these projects. Progress is a more fitting measure than time.

Windows: 311 * (CC) = v126
