macOS Security and Privacy Guide
I&#x27;m somewhat surprised that this guide recommends Homebrew. I agree that using a package manager is a good way to keep software updated from a central, trusted repository--always a good thing--but Homebrew makes a number of trade-offs for convenience instead of security. MacPorts has most of the same common packages and doesn&#x27;t mess up filesystem permissions like Homebrew does. If I remember correctly, the all-inside-the-home-directory technique used in this guide is unsupported by the Homebrew developers as well.<p>See <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;saagarjha.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2019&#x2F;04&#x2F;26&#x2F;thoughts-on-macos-package-managers&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;saagarjha.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2019&#x2F;04&#x2F;26&#x2F;thoughts-on-macos-pack...</a> for a more nuanced take on this.
