That's true, I mainly use it because it can handle FLAC.

I use to use iTunes but after using Winamp for the past year I can't use anything else. Good to see I'm not the only one.

VLC isn't a must, but it's definitely in there.

Never used Google Pic. can you view gifs with it?

Unfortunately not, but it can view every other file type I've tried so far.

Would you recommend Maxthon Cloud or CoolNovo?
(If it matters I'm currently using GC.)

I am personally using CoolNovo at the moment. However Maxthon Cloud has some decent options for social media if you are interested. If you aren't the kind of person that uses social media like Facebook or Twitter a lot, then I would recommend CoolNovo. ( You can get apps like Maxthon's on CoolNovo as well, but Maxthon comes with them already installed. )

Opera, 10/10 would bang.

Opera is a terrible web browser >.>

It's most certainly not, its both faster and more stable than Google Chrome and Firefox. Not only that, but the overall design of it looks better than Google Chrome in my personal opinion.

You're kidding right? Opera's css support is still lacking compared to chrome and firefox.
