Poll Are you using WinRAR in 2023?

[SeriousHoax]

I have never used Winrar from the moment I knew about 7-zip.

Same here. I started with WinZip back in the day. Later moved to WinRar and then to 7zip since I find it to be superior. Though I moved to 7zip fork NanaZip in Windows 11 which is the same thing except for some additional features.
7zip also supports MOTW for all archive formats (not default settings) which is very important for Microsoft Defender users and also helps in the case of Avast CyberCapture and ESET LiveGuard.
With 7zip/NanaZip I also get a file hash calculator built-in which I use a lot.

Yes, I still use it just for its icon. It used to be an icon that quickly distinguishes compressed files

 

[Amnesia]

7zip... its free

some additional features.

I know it has a nice UI and is available in MS Store. Other than these is there something else too?

 

[Sunshine-boy]

No, I use 7zip-zstd.

Oh, sorry, this is my mistake, but I looked at recent history and thought the discovery was for the new version

Really? how can you open RAR/Zip file when you download something?

 

[maximus]

I'm also using Total Commander's built in packers and 7zip.

Not everyone needs to download Rar files, and Zip is more common and widely supported by systems without third-party clients.
