My biggest issue with archivers is the delay, especially with larger files. I'd like something quicker that doesn't make me go through multiple steps just to extract files. Any ideas?
You might like https://www.unziptool.com/ I've been using UnzipTool for a while, and it's super fast—one of the few that keeps things simple. Double-click an archive, and it unpacks in the same folder instantly. Creating an archive is just as easy; right-click and it's done. I've noticed it's faster than WinRAR on most files and doesn't have ads or anything extra.
