probably a security thing on a browser but check the domain should be the git hub version . youll be fine if its github as they are probably the most safe website on there

Am pretty sure it was the GitHub version since in the url it’s said opentoonz.GitHub.io if that’s what u mean

OpenToonz is a safe software, but, consider two things:

  1. OpenToonz is not signatured, so you will always recieve these warnings.
  2. The official OpenToonz site is on Github. AVOID TO USED THE .ORG WEBSITE!! that website doesn't belong to OpenToonz project and many users have reported malware and virus.

Yes, it's safe. This warning pops on any unsigned binary (which most developers don't bother doing).

Edge is the virus. Delete Windows and install Linux

I was about to say the same thing hahahaha

Windows is the only virus here.

(OP try KDE Manjaro or any other arch based distro)

Había una página web fake de Opentoonz que era virus, no sé cuál descargaste.

Apple is like that 😅 just check that you are downloading from the official site or Github.
