Problem
when i open this app first time, apple blocked this app and can't open it for security reasons !

[Yachint]

An alternative way is by using homebrew. If you use it, then you can simply run this command on your terminal:

brew install --cask alex313031-thorium --no-quarantine

This lets you get past apple's gatekeeper for just this specific package.

I just take an extra step ( go to privacy and open anyway ) to open this app first time.
I recommend the author to fix this problem.

I recommend the author to fix this problem.

As I know, fixing this requires paid Apple developer account ($99/year).

@Alex313031 this issue may need to be pinned, as many users seem not to understand how installing third party software on Apple computers works

[midzer]

Good idea, @p7r0x7

[p7r0x7]

Can this remain pinned while closed?

[midzer]

No clue, why close the issue?

[p7r0x7]

It should really only remain open if there's any plan in the distant future to properly sign Thorium.app by paying Apple $99 a year.

[midzer]

Well, there is no plan at all.

This browser is a community effort. So it's their choice whether this money for Apple is worth it.

Leave this one open for good.

If you downloaded straight off from GitHub, you might need to xattr -r -c the app to remove the automatically-appended Gatekeeper flag, which is also employed by @Yachint's in-brew --no-quarantine method.
