if version numbers are arbitrary, then on what basis can one say that a higher number is not warranted?
I'm just really angry that they're changing meaningless numbers as if they have meaning. They're such idiots for thinking the numbers matter enough to change them.
They are changing them to push updates. Your browser won't update unless a version with a higher number is available, so they have to increase the number.
Most companies bundle updates (example: windows service packs) which means they only need to increase version number a few times. Chrome decided to update continuously instead.
The number changes are not meaningless; there is change in the background, you just don't see it.
