Apparently Google is thinking about freezing their version number at 99 and putting the "real" 3 digit version in the minor version slot in their version numbering scheme. Why might they do this? You guessed it! User agent parsers! The History of the browser user-agent string will definitely have to be updated if this ends up happening.
@mckinley Oh really? 😳 This will be interesting 🍿 😂

@prologic This is the Mozilla blog post I heard about it from. I can't help but notice they spend more time talking about Chrome than Firefox here. https://hacks.mozilla.org/2022/02/version-100-in-chrome-and-firefox/
The Chrome hack is supposed to be a backup plan. I think it's more than likely they'll just tack the digit on like you'd expect.
@mckinley My take? Just bump the version and let websites break. 😂

@mckinley this is so old, and still we have not learned from it.
@prologic that would be so much fun. New browsers will arrive and webmaster all over the world using this stupid thing will get some headaches. Especially those, who rely on the UserAgentString to deliver targeted ads and special prices for iOS, Windows or Android users.
@carsten I know that's why I wanna see it happen! It will be so funny to watch 😆

@prologic yeah, that'd be neat. There was a cool ^C Club IRC bot that would store your location (roughly) and pong your local weather on command. Great conversation starter, as it was (is) an international club.
