I’m repeating myself here but I hate it when people say “Just use X. It’s better.” and then omit explaining why it’s better. Give us a reason to consider changing or say nothing at all
Fair enough. 7z offers basically the same functionality as winRar including windows shell extensions (right click -> extract here, etc). It has slightly better compression ratios than WinRAR, and it’s open source. It doesn’t nag you to register.
It also supports an insane number of file formats. It will extract files from every pretty much every obscure archive you can think of (.ace, .cab) and all kinds of file types you wouldn’t expect like self-extracting executables, isos, .msi installers, vmdks, and more.

Sounds cool. I’m still just using the unzipper that’s built in windows explorer. I don’t see why it’s inadequate.
Because it’s better lol
