Is there a way to automatically extract files upon download?

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.
