The Archive Browser overview
Note: The Archive Browser is no longer in active development. The Unarchiver is an alternative from the same developer
The Archive Browser is a program that lets you browse the contents of archives, as well as extract them. It will let you open files from inside archives, and lets you preview them using Quick Look.
It is based on The Unarchiver, which means it can handle a large number of different archive formats: It can handle common formats like Zip, RAR, 7-zip, Tar, Gzip and Bzip2, as well as older formats like StuffIt, DiskDoubler, LZH, ARJ and ARC. It can also handle other kinds of formats, like CD and DVD images such as ISO, BIN, MDF, NRG and CDI, many Windows self-extracting EXE files, and can even extract media from Flash SWF files. It will also handle different filename encodings gracefully.
For the curious, it will also show you a lot of information about the archives and their contents.

BetterZip will let you view archives even after it's out of its trial period. When it's running in "freeware" mode, it will let you browse inside archives, and it provides a QuickLook plug-in to view the contents of zip files in the Finder.

Looks like this app has been abandoned as it no longer appears at the dev's website. (Sends you to The Unarchiver, instead.) Pity.

Bargain priced app, which I wish was updated more often. Much more useful than it's counterpart app "The Unarchiver", as I prefer to be able to view the file contents before extraction. On a par with Windows WinRar app.
