Please don't. Just right click and choose open. You will be able to open it, and whitelist the app in the process.
- mikeash 14y agoWhy should I choose that over disabling Gatekeeper? Your way adds more steps but is not any safer for me.
- badgar 14y agoIf you forget to re-enable Gatekeeper, you're hosed. That's the big one - security-related process/workflow should be as idiotproof as possible.
- venus 14y ago> If you forget to re-enable Gatekeeper, you're hosed Let's not exaggerate. Everyone got by perfectly well for years and years just using common sense about what to install. Gatekeeper is a welcome layer of defense but I doubt many experienced users would be "hosed" without it.
- mikeash 14y agoI deliberately never reenabled it. I've yet to be "hosed". What are you so afraid of?
