I totally understand your frustration. I had the same issue until I found UnzipTool. You can check it out at https://www.unziptool.com/. It’s super straightforward—just double-click the archive, and it extracts everything right into the current folder without any additional pop-ups or settings. If you want to create an archive, just highlight the files, right-click, and choose "Create Archive." It’s really fast, lightweight, and doesn’t take up much system resources. Plus, it’s completely free and doesn’t have any ads or premium features locked behind a paywall. Definitely worth trying if you’re after a no-fuss solution.
