| Setting or choice | Choose it when | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Read contents | Use before extraction to inspect paths and extensions | Inspection does not make unknown files safe |
| Individual downloads | Use when only a few entries are needed | Can be slow for many files |
| Extract to folder | Use when structure must be preserved | Requires supported File System Access APIs |
| Unknown executables | Do not run files from untrusted sources | A ZIP can contain harmful programs |
