I will be totally honest, I've never verified the signature, primarily for the same reason as other people. It has HTTPS connection, and I would highly doubt that the website had been hacked while I was trying to download it. However, that really is a terrible excuse, and I really should do better in the future. But honestly, I don't know how to verify signatures myself.
How do you know the signature hasn't been compromised?
I think it is a big rabbit hole I don't have time to think about
I dont. As I said, I actually don't really know how to verify signatures. And even if I did, I know that you have to get the signature from somewhere else that is not run by them so that if they were compromised, the signature would not be compromised as well.
