Apparently 7-Zip. I’ve never felt bother enough by WinZip to stay en vogue with the times I guess.

7-Zip is open source while WinZip is not. Also, 7-Zip's native format, .7z, is superior to Zip.

7zip has been "the standard" for like twenty years

I used 7zip for so long I thought it was retro by now.

Man, I'm over here still using my paid version of WinRAR like a boomer, and it seems to work just fine.

I was wondering where this left WinRAR. I never felt like WinZip was ever cool.

if winzip is windows only, the cool new zip utility is stock windows explorer

It even supports .rar and .7z now

[–] tubaruco@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

oh thats good, that means everything will start using .7z because of how much better it is at compressing files, right? ...right?
