    That sounds like a great idea until you download a zip bomb

      It’s my understanding that this is the default behavior on Macs: https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/n5l4de/is_there_an_addon_that_unzips_a_zip_file/

      If they can do it, why can’t we?

      Doesn’t most software now recognize that now though?

        ZIP bomb is definitely among the most mundane of issues you could cause yourself by automatically unzipping a compressed archive.
