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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] royal_starfish@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Actually, if you are using 7zip on windows 11, consider giving nanazip a try. It is 7zip but it adds the shortcuts to the new(and debatably worse) right click context menu on windows 11. And don't quote me on this but I remember having seen somewhere that the devs of 7zip says they won't update 7zip to use the new context menu. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] redditReallySucks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 2 years ago Or just bring back the windows 10 context menu permalink fedilink source parent [–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago Sounds cool.
