Nowadays, as a normal bitcoin user, not as a miner, mining pool, you will not be able to get your transaction confirmed with zero transaction fee. That chance is lower with time and nowadays your chance is 0.



This isn't true.  Transactions can happily be sent, relayed, and mined with no fee at all in Bitcoin core, if they have enough priority.

Fortunately if you know how mempools work, you can choose good days and times to broadcast your transactions with a cheap fee rate at 1 satoshi/ vbyte.

Use Native Segwit address type (bech32) starts with bc1q to have smaller transaction size and enjoy lower transaction fee.
