Chrome increased their release speed to stay one version ahead of ff. During the pandemic they missed one release, but they also skipped one version so that they can stay ahead. The version was somewhere in the nineties.

Jesus Christ... I'm sorry, I know I'm not adding anything to the conversation. I'm just baffled by these "decisions".

Honestly, no one cares... As long as you're consistent.

Well, this is called marketing.

PS: The version turned out to be 82 btw.
