['/Users/harrissou/Library/Application Support/QGIS/QGIS3',
'/Library/Application Support/QGIS/QGIS3',
'/Applications/QGIS3.10.app/Contents/Resources']

On Windows, using an osgeo4w advanced install, with master:
['C:/Users/harrissou/AppData/Roaming/QGIS/QGIS3',
'C:/ProgramData/QGIS/QGIS3',
'C:/OSGEO4W64/bin',
'C:/OSGEO4W64/bin/data',
'C:/OSGEO4W64/bin/data/QGIS/QGIS3']

HTH,
