Currently chromium 128, and Firefox 127. They always seem to go shoulder to shoulder.
Nope. Bill Gates made it that way so edge would be different.
Is it just a coincidence that Chromium and Firefox have similar version numbers?

No, it’s a PR move. Why would anyone use Firefox 12.0 when Chrome is so obviously more advanced with a fast release cycle sitting at version 120+?

Firefox 1.0 was in 2004, and it took until March 2011 to get to version 4.0. Then by the end of 2011, they were on version 9.

Let’s use hash value for versioning. Big numbers go bigger! Joking aside, I totally believe that there are people who would think bigger numbers means more advanced, and it’s depressing.

that’s the reason why we got Xbox 360 instead of Xbox 2

I still despise Mozilla for changing the version numbering. It's so fucking stupid. 90% of the "major updates" are just minor shit while the minor updates are just tiny bug & security fixes. But I guess when you plan to not really move the browser forward, then you wouldn't have gotten any real major updates anyway.

One of the reasons why the 1/3rd pound burger lost to the 1/4 pound burger, was because people saw the 1/4, and thought that the quarter-pound was larger for some inexplicable reason.
