    I don’t think it’s in any way unsafe, unless something is very wrong with the in-archiving software, in which case viewing it would likely have the same vulnerability. Files existing I don’t think can cause any harm, again without some severe vulnerability somewhere along the chain. Running them is the issue.

        I don’t think zip bombs have been an issue for a long time now. That was an issue with archiving software that has been solved I think, unless you use bad software.
