What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
Why does my mother care about my sister more than me?
If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
Why is my ex still keeping in touch with me even though she dumped me?
“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
