Try out these command from here.

Run this to see the attributes:

xattr -r ~/Library/QuickLook

And run this to remove the attributes:

xattr -d -r com.apple.quarantine ~/Library/QuickLook

Works for me!

None of these work for me. Installed to ~/Library/QuickLook, com.apple.quarantine completely stripped, qlmanage -r and qlmanage -r cache, and QLStephen still fails.

To add a data point, it works for me on Big Sur 11.3

I was getting the security/privacy macOS popup and quick look, and so I followed instructions in README under Permissions (quarantine) and now it works.

There is an issue referenced at bottom of that section with more details

Works on Big Sur 11.3 for me.

Doesn't work on 11.4 for most text files

I'm unable to get it to work on Big Sur 11.4.

I appear to have it working on Big Sur 11.4 (fresh install on a 13" M1 MBP).

I followed the instructions in the README under Permissions (quarantine) as suggested by @pavopax above.

However: what those instructions don't mention (and perhaps should) is that after running the qlmanage commands you will still need to open your System Preferences, go to Security & Privacy / General, and tell Big Sur to allow QLStephen.qlgenerator.

For completeness, the steps I followed:

Install via homebrew
Restart machine; upon login I got the error mentioned in this issue.
xattr -cr ~/Library/QuickLook/QLStephen.qlgenerator
qlmanage -r
qlmanage -r cache
Open System Preferences / Security & Privacy / General and grant permission.
Relaunch Finder (I actually did this via the "Force Quit" menu, not the way suggested in the README, but I'm sure the outcome is identical).
Create a test README text file on my Desktop containing some words.
Quick look that file — and it worked.

I then went ahead and tested vs various other previously-existing text files without extensions, and they all seemed to work. I mention this because @alexchandel's comment "Doesn't work on 11.4 for most text files" made me wonder if it was only partially working — but so far it looks good to me.

Hope this helps someone.

Edit: then I followed the issue trail a bit further and found #87 and realised it isn't working if I change that README to README.1 — so maybe that's what @alexchandel is referring to there. Skipping to the end of that issue it seems there's a workaround which has to be applied on a per-extension basis? Ah well, OK! 😄 🤷🏻‍♂️
