Two questions, how can you trust closed source? And how are they already on release 8.0; what are these significant improvement each time or is it like apple's yearly release?

First release was 11 years ago. Why not?

Also there is no standard for version releases. I mean there probably is, but none that you have to follow.

> how can you trust closed source?

Same as using Android or windows or iOS.

If version 8.0 makes you raise your eyebrows, just wait til you see what version Firefox and Chrome are on!

Which is even more nuts, especially with the features removed from Firefox sometimes like the grouped tabs removal then regain.

		Some want major version numbers to mean "giant changes" and others want version numbers to mean "not just a security patch". Others want something between. None of these approaches is any more correct than the other and theres zero chance of getting everyone to agree only one should be used. You just have to understand which delivery approach is being taken to consume it accordingly. E.g. 1.4.8, 14.8, and 148 all tell their own story. 1.4.8 implies many small releases with a few decent size changes along the way. 14.8 implies a medium speed (perhaps ~yearly) regular delivery if bigger enhancements with minor patches/fixes in between. 148 implies a long running continuous rapid delivery of all things as they become available.
