Eh, this really isn't the place for a browser fight, but I would like to bring up some issues with Opera. Personally I use both Opera and Firefox for difference purposes with Opera as my main browser though. As much as I like Opera and as good as the browser is empirically, its uses can be limited. I am not sure how many of us here use our PCs for financial management and all, but a lot of financial institutions have issues with Opera, which eventually results in you needing to use another browser anyway. At that, it isn't just an issue with online banking and all, the fact that Opera, as of now, is still low on market share means that larger [company] sites are less likely to have Opera support. An annoyance, not a huge one, but not one I'd like to see cited when people post back on this thread about how they can't do x or y because the company doesn't want to bother making sure its site is fully functional on Opera.
EDIT - To make this post have more relevance to the thread, I personally use Spyware Doctor via google pack for spyware. Adaware has been a bit annoying for me for some reason or another. Only briefly skimmed the thread though, so don't mind if others have mentioned it.
White_box921, pretty much everything can play flac. Probably just needs you to download an additional extension or something, but nothing a quick google can't solve. Assuming that you mean just a flac individual file anyway. Flac+Cue is a bit weirder, but the majority of the standard players should be able to handle it anyway. As of late I've been using a mix of Foobar (audio) and zoom/MPC (video).

Yea I liked opera alot when I used it but I'll just stick to my firefox. It does me justice whenever im online banking. Which I check mostly every day.
