Your machine may be less secure when you disable extra security features. What is different in macOS 11.0 (Big Sur)? It is entirely your decision to modify the settings. The Finder binary is newly marked as a 'platform binary'.

That means that system prevents injecting or loading any code which is not signed by Apple developers. Finder didn't participate in this prior macOS 11.0.Ĭurrently in beta macOS 11.0 users can disable Library Validation using this command in Terminal.app: This feature is called 'Library Validation' and was first introduced in macOS 10.10 (Yosemite). This will allow injection of TotalFinder code in Finder. But please note that Library Validation is disabled system-wide.

How to install TotalFinder by turning off System Integrity Protection So any app which relied on Library Validation might be less secure. TotalFinder will guide you through the process via notification dialogs. Please check the TotalFinder installation page for general installation steps. This document explains SIP-specific steps. You do this by restarting your machine, and holding Command+R until the Apple logo appears. Then select Terminal from the Utilities menu. In the window that opens, type csrutil disable and press return. This turns off System Integrity Protection so that TotalFinder can be installed. Reboot your machine and you may install and run the latest version of TotalFinder. Unfortunately you have to keep SIP disabled to allow TotalFinder. In earlier macOS versions it was possible to turn SIP off only to complete TotalFinder installation steps and enable it back again.

That is no longer possible in recent macOS releases due to hardened security settings.
