    Congrats on the new Mac! I have to recommend Rectangle its a free, customizable way of snapping and arranging windows through shortcuts. Some people are keen on Alfred, be sure to take a look it can get quite useful.

  4. A remote control for you Mac, using your iPhone or iPad
    BetterTouchTool is a must-have if you'd like to set shortcuts and add new gestures to your trackpad. It might be difficult to configure but that comes with time.

    If you like Safari but miss some of your extensions, the best browser for you would be Orion. It's based on Webkit, and looks and feels exactly like Safari but supports Chrome and Firefox extensions. You could also try Arc browser: it's just different but has better UI and features (IMO).

    Don't worry too much about software, you'll find what you need when the need arises. Maybe install Homebrew, it will come in handy later.
