Usually they open in IE.

Well, they're not really a video, maybe VLC is being snobbish.

You don't really need a "player" for GIFs. You can just open them with any web browser.

How do you like the VLC program? Was there any 'add ware' involved with it? It think I'll smoke QuickTime also and download VLC if it's decent.
Like I said I don't really understand computers or the programs, so I guess the best answer I can give you is I didn't notice anything different. Video's play, and everything else seems the same to me. I have not gotten any pop ups or up sale ads with the VLC. Hope that helps.

One of the beautiful things about open source software is that if they ever did enclose ads or anything else found to be a detriment to the project, anyone so inclined could "fork" the project, re-brand it and release it under a new name without the garbage.
