Yes, the download is genuine, and the packages is released by the official developers. The archive comes in 7Z format. You will need 7Zip to extract it.
Once the archive has been extracted, access the Bin folder and start the application using Maxthon.exe.
Are there different versions of Maxthon Cloud Browser? Basic and Pro, something like that. Also, are there versions for different platforms, or is it universal?

No, there is no PRO or Basic version of this browser. The package is released as a single version that operates on multiple platforms. According to the information on the developers website, you can install Maxthon browser on multiple platforms like: Windows, Android, Mac, iOS, Windows Phone, Linux.
Maxthon Cloud Browser is compatible on 32 and 64bit operating systems. I have installed the package on mentioned architecture models, and it works just fine. There are no compatibility tweaks to apply in order to get it running.
Download the full package and install it as you would normally do. Eventually, run the installer as Administrator since it requires System partition access to place the necessary files and register extensions.
Yes, there are skins available for this browser, but unfortunately, there is no store to download them from, like you would normally do on Chrome or Firefox. The skins need to be downloaded from the Forum posts created by users. Luckily, there is a simple way to browse the skins.
Compared to other browsers on the Internet, Maxthon Cloud Browser has a few advantages. For example, there is a function called Ad Hunter that automatically removes advertisements from websites. This eliminates the need to install a 3rd party add-on or program. Another one is Source Sniffer that allows downloading of all the resources from a website (videos, pictures, movies, animations, etc). The last one is SkyNote that allows you to save notes with the possibility of syncing them to Windows or Android.
