It'd be nice to have both. But with Big Sur crippling Little Snitch, like rdn, I too am looking to bail from Apple. One can be selective in the apps one chooses to install, but one can no longer block Apple's telemetry and cloud stuff. Pity. I've been Apple-only since the Apple IIgs.

Here are two workarounds:

Install Little Snitch 4.6 instead of 5: https://www.obdev.at/support/littlesnitch/245913651253917

Hacky method to disable Apple's exceptions: https://tinyapps.org/blog/202010210700_whose_computer_is_it....

That first link is gold! The second one is bad because you can't disable the signed system (readonly) root without disabling FileVault and leaving it disabled, which is a showstopper for me.

Will 4.x be installable on ARM? I imagine the kernel extension needs to match the arch of the kernel, and because ARM macs don't run anything before Big Sur, I imagine only 5.x has ARM builds available?
