What’s a good way to extract .rar files on the Mac?

Please recommend a nice software which will work on Lion. Default one is extracting immediately after I double click and does not support RAR, which is essential.

Would be nice if software can first browse the archive and then let me extract it.

Commercial software recommendations are mostly welcomed.

Zipeg is free and it seems like a good choice for you. Here is a summary of the features from their website:

✓ popular: .zip, .rar, .7z, .tar, .gz, .tgz, .bzip2, .iso, .cbr, .cbz formats;

✓ rare: .arj, .lha .lzh, .cpio, .rpm, .chm, .z, .war, .ear

✓ decrypts password protected .zip and .rar files (strong AES encryption).

✓ auto-magically combines and opens multipart .zip and .rar files.

✓ shows content of archive and allow you to select what to extract.

The Unarchiver

It doesn't support looking inside archives, but it's free, simple enough and works with tons of formats.

Try Springy.

The list of supported archive and disk image types includes ZIP, TAR, RAR, 7-ZIP, TGZ, TBZ, PAX, CPIO, CPGZ, JAR, SIT, DMG, ISO... and more. Future releases will include more types in this list. Also allows you to browse archives before extracting them.
