systemextensionsctl list yields 0 extensions on my system.
Are there any users of these extensions at this point?
It does seem a bit weird that installing these extensions supposedly doesn't require any user consent, even though stuff like screen recording or folder access does.

- smolyeet 5y agomore common in enterprise environment, but vmware fusion, global protect, and lulu/little snitch come to mind from my experience. Big Sur still technically supports Kernel Extensions, and companies will wait until the last minute before giving in.
- jmull 5y agoI checked my system... I have only a Cisco AnyConnect extension. I have VMware fusion running (latest version), so maybe they've finished the transition?
- neilalexander 5y agoVMware Fusion uses the macOS Hypervisor.framework now, so it no longer needs extensions.
- amatix 5y agoTripMode (https://tripmode.ch/ https://tripmode.ch/) for filtering application Internet access when you're running on mobile data uses a kernel extension.
- Dokterdok 5y agoThe latest version of TripMode does not use a Kernel Extension anymore, it uses a Network Extension. Still, user consent is asked by macOS to install it.
