WebArchivesViewer

WebArchivesViewer is a user-friendly Internet Explorer plugin developed by websiTeam that offers convenient features for managing archived files on the web. In its latest version, 1.04, the application focuses on allowing users to access and explore contents of ZIP and RAR archives without having to download the entire archive. This makes it an ideal tool for individuals who prefer to cautiously inspect web contents before committing to a download.

The plugin is designed specifically for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11 and supports both ftp:// and http:// protocols. The program includes file names sqrv.exe, and Viewer2.exe for its execution. This useful application falls under the Internet & Network category, with a subcategory of Browser plugins. It is clear that the plugin was developed with user safety and convenience in mind, as one can right-click on a download link and select "Open in Web Archives Viewer" from the contextual menu.

By leveraging WebArchivesViewer, users can effortlessly search the contents of ZIP and RAR files. If a link points to an FTP resource, the plugin presents a straightforward FTP explorer, enabling users to peruse the archive's contents as though it were a standard folder tree. This level of interactivity ensures that files are opened with your default program associated with their extensions, supporting a seamless user experience.
