FUSE for macOS for Mac

DO NOT INSTALL unless you really really really need to. WHY? Because this is by my personal estimation a vastly buggy POS. I call it HEADACHEWARE. I installed it because Cryptomator wants to use it. Tough luck! I've UNINSTALLED it! Fortunately, it comes with an uninstaller app. UNfortunately, the "uninstaller" does NOT install all of it! [expletive!] AND the stupid uninstaller doesn't tell you that you have to RESTART to get it out of RAM. - - A partial list of PITA LEFTOVERS: (1) /Library/StatedExtensions/Library/Filesystems/macfuse.fs <--Root permissions required to kill it. Have fun. (2) /private/var/db/KernelExtensionManagement/AuxKC/CurrentAuxKC/StashedExtensions/CE792BFB-8378-4355-82A9-162203510FA4/macfuse.kext <--Root. (3) /Library/Filesystems/strongfuse.fs <--Admin trashable. - - WHY do I extremely dislike this monster? It requires TWO RESTARTS to finish installing it, only to discover it has wrecked the system such that several errors are thrown, and several app permissions appear to have been damaged. (o_0) Ouch! You have to RESTART a THIRD TIME to clear the chaos. - - Oh and of course, as I mentioned above, you have to RESTART after UNinstalling to clear the FUSE crap out of memory. - - AVOID! Maybe they'll fix it, but not today.

4.2.4 was released 20 Dec 2021 https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/releases/download/macfuse-4.2.4/macfuse-4.2.4.dmg

NOT for M1 Macs! I don't care what the developer notes say. FUSE is INERT on M1 Macs. I've been through this twice now. NO, it's NOT compatible with M1 Macs. All you find it does is seriously screw up your system boot then NOT work. Don't install it. Ignore it. I don't say this often but: The developers seriously screwed up and have NOT properly tested 4.1.2 on M1 Macs. /rant
