They say "84% of the browser market" now supports the DNT headers, but that's quite clearly a lie, as the article previously says that only IE9 supports DNT, not IE6-8.
Using the browser usage data they link to you can see it's actually only about 29% of the browser market that supports DNT headers.
This difference in stats may seem insignificant, but if it actually were 84% a lot more advertisers might pay attention to DNT, where as at 29% they're a lot more likely to be ignored. Even if Google Chrome got on board, it would still only be about 41%.
