The site recommends [[https://www.privacyguides.org/encryption/#veracrypt-disk](https://www.privacyguides.org/encryption/#veracrypt-disk)] Veracrypt on desktop including MacOS but it requires installing a system kernel extension on Mac. Surely that could be harmful for security and there may be better alternatives for mac?
