Agreed. It's ridiculous that we can't even fully disable it in the latest macOS releases (the commands others posted below don't work in Big Sur to completely disable quarantine).

Thankfully there is a simple workaround: https://hiringengineersbook.com/post/disable-quarantine/

Note, the single command does turn off Gatekeeper. File quarantine is separate and needs a separate command. That is as it should be IMO, they’re completely different things.

Right, but do you know if there is a command to actually turn off quarantine? I mean really turning it off, not just removing it from already existing files. To my knowledge, that doesn't exist.
