Fuck WinRAR. It's for normie NPCs. 7Zip is FOSS, and everybody should be using it instead.
Wow, really shilling for Russian software man, that's low, certainly the Russians have no insights to 7zip.
You can read and build the source code yourself if you're really worried what some Russian FOSS contributors are up to, but I can assure you it's going to be a lot less sus that whatever a proprietary application can do without any ability to audit and check the code.
