I Use My Mouse
On macOS, I use SensibleSideButtons to map my Logitech mouse side buttons to Swipe Right and Swipe Left. This works as a generic Forwards/Back in lots of places: Safari, Firefox, Finder, iTerm2. Unfortunately the app appears to be abandoned (no Apple Silicon builds), but if there's interest I will resurrect it. https://sensible-side-buttons.archagon.net. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

About to set up my 16" MBP as my main computer! Any suggested applications/tools/settings to make the most out of the general use of the MBP? Mainly, I’ll be editing 4K video for serious usage. This computer is a dream come true! I can finally improve my workflow from an older (2017) Windows desktop
