What is the best solution for NTFS on M1 chipset

Tried with paragon, texura, and several others like iboysoft, it is very complex to install on M1 mac, all of these tools need to be installed on safe mode. But for M1 chipset, the steps are very complex to enable safe mode.

Is there any other solutions which can enable the NTFS easily, I remember apple support the NTFS in some specific version, why it did not support any more.

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

NTFS is a Microsoft format and is not supported natively by Apple. If you wish to work with NTFS on your Mac , you'll need a third party app.

As to the procedure to boot into safe mode on the M1 chip Macs, it is what it is and that's what you have to do.

Yes, M1 enable the security settings, it is hard to install the NTFS driver, so most NTFS tools can not be installed easily.

But you can try with some tricky way with several commands, then you can enable NTFS on macOS without any software, the only limitation is, you can not find the disk on the left sidebar of Finder, but you can open it with Finder.
