Mouse Acceleration on MacOS
ExactMouse acceleration killer:
ExactMouse from Steelseries removes mouse acceleration on the Mac.
Acceleration is a a problem for me when using a mouse on any computer that requires precise pointer placement. It is not easy to disable it completely on the Mac without using some fancy terminal command.
To make it easy to disable acceleration either term-rally or permanently you can use the ExactMouse tool from Steelseries. The improvement in general mouse work are subtle but noticeable and improve the feel of high quality gaming mice.

Turn off Notification Requests in Safari
For some reason Web Browsers such as Safari have added the ability for Web Sites to request the sending of Notifications using the OS notification system. Quite why anyone would want this on 99% of the sites is beyond me.
If you are fed up with constantly having to say no to these requests there is a way to turn off all requests in Safari, and certainly other browsers too.
To turn of the prompts go to:
Settings > Websites > Notifications
and deselect the check box at the bottom of the pane.
