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.

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”.
