brew reinstall librewolf
==> Would reinstall 1 cask:
librewolf
Warning: librewolf has been deprecated because it does not pass the macOS Gatekeeper check! It will be disabled on 2026-09-01.
Why do they do this fucking bullshit to us? Apprently it's not enough to pay the Mac OS developer fee anymore and librewolf and the like are no longer kosher, so you have to do some fucking voodoo with the quarantine to use it.
I know, I know
>Mac OS
>Homebrew
>Found yer fuckin problem
But still they have no fucking right to prevent me from using libre software.
Librewolf deprecated on brew due to signing requirements

Compared to apple microsoft is a massive open green field.

Sir? Why do you even want the best and most private browser, right afer TOR, when you are using it in an unsafe env (MacOS), where every keystroke is logged anyway? And every IP you ever connect to is tied to your AppleID and of course your ISP.
But that aside... fuck, that sucks. Hmm.. in that case I'd just use Zen browser, honestly.

Apple doesn't either, Asahi Linux exists. The only thing "stopping" you is the lack of driver support.

I remember there being a post of someone showing how many connections zen browser makes straight out of the box and If I remember correctly it is more than regular firefox, if you want a private browser just harden firefox with user.js.

Not entirely true, you can add your own platform key and sign the bootloader yourself as long as the firmware trusts it.
https://wiki.cachyos.org/configuration/secure_boot_setup/
Some firmware might be locked down to prevent this though but that's not Microsoft's fault.

it's a dogshit package manager. They don't even keep binaries for programs if you aren't on the latest version of mac and force you to compile everything from source.

Why do you use homebrew to install software? It's not a robust package manager that's well-maintained like something you'd see on Linux. Just go download your browser directly.

librewolf isn't paying any developer fee and that's why it's not notarized & fails gatekeeper.

the signing key is published alongside a given release, so you can check whether you install the unmodified application or some crypto miner
it's almost impossible to miss that there has been a number of attacks of late (especially in the shitpile that is npm) where the publisher gets pwned to steal his signing keys and THEN the third party posts some malware because otherwise things like brew, dnf and the like will reject it
it's also common to post keys or checksums on many releases, be it on github or on independent download sites like ffmpeg

Everybody can pay those few shekels and let apple sign his app.
The AppStore is full with malware.
Unless you check the keys by actually asking the developer about which one is his, you can't tell.
There are over 34 million people with paid. Apple developer accounts who can sign apps.

You're fucking retarded. A signing key is private to each individual and has nothing to do with Apple. The ability to see if a signing key is changed or if 2 versions of the app you've downloaded have totally different signing keys is all you need. You don't need to contact the developer at all, the KEY itself is the developer/distributor.

Because each key is unique to a given publisher, so ranjeet can only sign applications and updates he himself publishes
I am baffled anyone would assume otherwise. Surely you can intuit that if anyone could sign anything then the whole concept would be unworkable?

Still didnt answer the question:
Did you ever, in your whole life, verify a signature of an app you installed?
You do understand that Apples verification of "yes, this person paid us" isn't enough, right?
Apple isn't visiting the upstream repo to ask the developers if they are ok with this guy publishing their software. No such verification is ever done, YOU would have to do that. If you never did that, then no app signing ever improved your security, it only ever verified that Apple got some shekels.

i mean yeah, there's always the possibility that the original dev gets disappeared and his key ends up being stolen. i'm willing to bet (((apple verification))) does not include protection from such an event, for the dev or the user.
