Yeah, they basically say that a software update they will release will not make the connectivity any better but will more accurately show how bad it is to begin with.  That's pretty sad.

he's just reporting what's been related on a few sites already, that IE reversed the process of losing mark share. It was under 60%, now it's above again

Good to see IE still doing well. It's probably mostly due to the increasing usage of Windows 7 though.

Look at the screen capture below and you will see Opera 10.60's fraud protection is still from Phishtank & Netcraft.

Updated at 2:12 p.m. on July 1: Opera spokesman Thomas Ford said in an e-mail to Download.com that he's "almost certain" that Opera's new AVG anti-malware detection system replaces the previous one that Opera used, which had been provided by Haute Secure.

Seems funny why it is still displayed as NetCraft and PhishTank! !

Both Opera and Firefox have been "speewing" out updates like crazy. I've been using both browsers for a while and I've never seen so mane incremental updates done so fast. So in the heat of things they probably left a few lines of code that should have been modified. Things happen. :D
Computer Systems:

Intel Pentium 4 641 / 2GB RAM / Vista Home Basic SP2 / avast! 5.0 Home / SAS Free / MBAM Free / Windows Defender / Windows Firewall / Spyware Blaster/ Secunia PSI / Firefox 3.6 / Opera 10.5

Core2Duo T8300 / 4GB RAM / Vista Home Premium SP2 (32 bit version) / Same Software.

You are confused. :)
Firefox has released only two updates since April 1: Fx 3.6.4 on June 22 and a bugfix followup on June 25 in Fx 3.6.6.  (There was no Fx 3.6.5.)
