Windows opens RAR files right out the box. Just tested.

And if you need a separate unzipper for whatever reason, 7-Zip opens all the things.

Only WinRAR can create RAR files if I recall correctly. That's the proprietary part.

It’s freeware, but not FOSS.

I removed mine after the 40 day trial period.

Windows now handles 7z files natively too (at least as of the upcoming Windows 11 24H2 version), I'm glad they've at least added some legit new features for File Explorer.
