WobZip online is a very interesting application that allows us to decompress files from its website. And why would that be interesting or useful? Because not only works with files on your hard drive, but also with URLs. So, you can access files and directories contained in the compressed file, without having to download it in its entirety.

The limit of file size is 100 MB, though we imagine that this is because they are still in testing phase, precisely because what is most interesting is the ability to access parts of larger files. Extensions that support, for the moment, are 7z, zip, gzip, tar, bzip2, rar, cab, arj, z, cpio, rpm, deb lzh, split, iso and chm. Other Limitations are that it does not support Unicode and files cannot be encrypted/password-protected.

Moreover, while decompresses files, I pass antivirus (Bitdefender, always updated to the latest version), which is appreciated. And as if that were not enough, allowing decompress files from one’s address bar, using the address :
