FWIW, I've tried ext2fsd and found it unstable and blessed with a
non-intuitive user interface.

However, my weapon of choice to READ (not write!) ext/2/3/4 is 7-Zip.
Both the command line program (7z.exe) and the 7z file manager
(7zFM.exe) support full read access to physical drives (and files) in
ext2/3/4 format. I've never seen the need to use any other tool for that
purpose. And I would never use a Windows app to WRITE to an ext2/3/4
file system.

I can open a Linux IMAGE with 7-zip, like a ISO file, but
that's not ext* format. No idea how to mount a Linux partition with
7-Zip
Ext2 Volume Manager (comes with ext2fs) works fine for ext2,3
and 4. Read-only. Useful for when I download something in Linux and
after booting into Windows need to copy it.
