I think it needs to be done by the operating system, extensions nowadays don't have the permissions to do that.

When I was using MacOS it automatically extract zipped files and I hated it so much, you accidentally click on a link, it automatically saves in download and automatically unzip it, leading to too much trash in downloads...

Uhh, couldn't they just extract it into a folder? Then it's identical to being compressed.
