Kill These 4 trackpad settings to get more from your macbook mouse
I switched to a MacBook years ago for two reasons: MacOS (OS X, at the time) felt more stable (fewer freezes and crashes) and less paranoid (fewer warnings and updates) than Windows, and the MacBook trackpad felt more responsive and less skittish than any Windows laptop I had tried.
Over the years, Apple has added new features and gestures to the trackpad. For my money, it's still the best laptop trackpad in the business, but it's not perfect out of the box, but it comes close with some small adjustments.
To tweak your MacBook's trackpad settings, open System Preferences and click Trackpad. Then get rid of these four settings.
1. Pinch to zoom
I accidentally use this gesture all the time. I'll try to scroll down a web page but instead zoom in wildly, which leaves me sitting there trying to remember how to return to the normal zoom level. Since I use this setting by accident much more frequently than by design, it's the first one I disable. To do so, click on the Scroll & Zoom tab in Trackpad settings and uncheck the box for Zoom in or out: Pinch with two fingers.

2. Tap to click
Here's another trackpad setting I use accidentally more than intentionally. I don't want the MacBook to think I'm trying to click on something each time my finger brushes up against the trackpad. If I want to click, then I'll click. Head to the Point & Click tab and uncheck the box for Tap to click: Tap with one finger.

3. Swipe between pages
On the More Gestures tab, you'll find a host of three- and four-finger gestures. I leave all of these gestures enabled except the first: Swipe between pages: Scroll left or right with two fingers.
It's possible to change this gesture from two to three fingers, which might stop you from accidentally using it as often, but I disable it. I'm already used to navigating forward and back in Chrome or Safari with the forward and back buttons. It's also too easy to switch pages by accident when attempting to scroll sideways on large Google Sheets spreadsheets if I leave this setting on.
4. Natural scroll direction
MacOS sets you up to scroll in what it calls a natural scroll direction, but it feels quite the opposite to me. If you head back to the Scroll & Zoom tab, you can uncheck the box for Scroll direction: Natural, which I think feels more natural when scrolling through documents and web pages with two fingers.

Vice President Mike Pence greets members of the audience at a reception for the Organization of American States in the Indian Treaty Room at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House complex in Washington, Monday, June 4, 2018, as the Trump administration renewed its call Monday for the Organization of American States to suspend Venezuela and for other members to step up pressure on the country's government to restore constitutional order.

In the spring of 2017, a high level Trump administration official asked for details on how many Haitians with Temporary Protected Status were on public benefits, how many were convicted of “crimes of any kind,” and how many had been in the country unlawfully before being granted TPS. When told by staffers that this information wasn’t relevant to granting TPS and that the existing data “wasn’t good,” she continued to press ahead. She explained that the Homeland Security Secretary “is going to need this to make a final decision” that spring on whether to extend TPS for Haitians. They were granted the right to stay in the U.S. after a devastating 2010 earthquake. To critics of that decision, these emails, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act by the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild, reveal an administration intent on seeking negative information to doom the renewal of TPS for nearly 60,000 Haitians. “Keep in mind that this is in no way relevant to dec
