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.
“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
Does anyone wear see-through clothes to show off underwear?
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
If freedom of speech is absolute, how come it's not applied for private spaces and for the Internet?
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
