<< No problem >>
For some reason, a lot of people (at least in the U.S.) hate that one, especially older people, probably because it's so common. They lament that "no problem" is replacing "you're welcome", as if it's particularly significant that an artificial, pre-arranged, meaningless set of sounds might be replaced by another. But that's just my opinion. I'm not particularly opposed to saying "you're welcome"; I just think it's mildly silly that people actually care about such things, especially since the same people probably don't put much thought into "you're welcome" when they say it themselves.
So it's safest to stick with "you're welcome", at least here, but there are certainly alternatives. It also may vary by region, too. I think "no worries" is popular in Australia and/or New Zealand, but I don't know to what extent. It's unheard of where I live, but it would still be understood.

You have to say that one just right, though. There's a specific prosody associated with it.

I probably hear "for sure" or "sure thing" more often than "you're welcome."
"don't mention it" is another. "you're welcome" has another meaning that's different from the meaning discussed here being:
"You're welcome to the party" which is just the meaning of "you're" plus "welcome".
"You're welcome to the party" which is just the meaning of "you're" plus "welcome".
In Australia you can say "No wuckin' furries." (rhymes with "curries") or just "No wuckers."
<<"No wuckers.">>
How would it sound if instead of someone saying "no wuckers" after you said thank you to them, they said "no fuckers".
Person 1: Thank you!
Person 2: No fuckers!
