Comment on Russia and China-backed hackers are exploiting WinRAR zero-day bug
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year agoI don’t get why someone would prefer rar over zip and 7z.
Even tar.gz and all their flavors are more common.

Yeah, well technically .cab is more common than tar.gz but that doesn’t mean I’d start using it.
I personally use RAR because I think it’s a better format than ZIP, but I use ZIP when I have to share the archive with anyone.

How does it compare to 7z though?

According to this benchmark, 7z compresses more.
