“Opera 10.60 for Windows, Mac and Linux incorporates security
enhancements provided by popular freeware antivirus vendor AVG,
improves performance, adds further HTML5 compatibility and makes a
minor but noticeable tweak to the browser interface. The first beta
of Opera 10.60 was released only two weeks ago, and on Thursday it
graduates to a wide release and sheds its beta tag.

“The new security feature indicates that while Chrome and
Firefox are looking to further isolate plug-ins and add-ons, Opera
hopes to address the immediate threat from malware-infected
websites. Opera now comes with AVG’s real-time web threat data feed
built in. What this means is that when you encounter a page that’s
been detected by the AVG network to be malicious, you’ll see the
warning instead. The network is fed by data supplied anonymously by
51 million AVG users from around the world.”
