Like when you send a .7z instead of a .zip or .rar to a friend or a teacher because that’s what your computer has installed and they’re like “Oh No, not one of those, now I have to install 7Zip” even though the same program that opens .rar also opens .7z I feel like people are way more annoyed when they receive a .7z

    Just send a zip dude. You said yourself 7zip can already handle them. You’re pointlessly making others install an application because of your personal preference hehe

      .7z is supported by most popular applications, and offers better compression than a .zip or .rar in my experience.

      Unless you’re saying normally people rely on Windows Explorer for their (de)compression needs ? (⁠・⁠o⁠・⁠;⁠)
