It has been three years since I last shared my Developer MacBook setup guide, which remains one of my most popular articles. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you can find it here:

In the past three years, there have been significant changes, including the emergence of many AI-powered and free (for individuals) tools.

Browser

The first essential installation for a new MacBook is a browser, and my personal favorite is the Arc Browser. It offers innovative features that redefine what a browser can do and even how we experience the Internet.

Arc Browser offers a split view feature, allowing you to view up to 4 tabs in one view. It also enables you to switch between profiles within the same window, which is a feature I particularly love. Additionally, it boasts a clean and minimal UI and incorporates AI features (named Arc Max).
