Dynamouse: Mouse driver for big Mac studios
As others have mentioned, there's quite a few options, and I use mos (https://github.com/Caldis/Mos) for no particular reason. It does the same things as any of the alternatives, I just found it first and stuck with it since.

Mac Mouse Fix: Do the things you do on a trackpad. Without a trackpad
It looks like this competes with Mos.app[0]. Honestly, I'm not sure how folks use non-magic mice without this.

An Open Source Mouse and Trackpad Utility for Mac
Not to take away from this app, but I’ve been using Mos (https://mos.caldis.me) for a couple of years now and it’s been just enough to mitigate the faults I had with default mouse settings in macOS.

Can I adjust my mouse wheel?
I recommend MOS to fix the scrolling issue. It also adds a sexy-as-$uck smooth scrolling animation.

Weird scroll wheel behavior.
You’ll need a mouse Utility to fix it. If it’s just scrolling, MOS does the job, and when you’re not gaming, gives you such a smooth scroll, it’ll feel better than sex.

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.

Also, the side buttons can be managed by this -> Sensible Side Buttons so I don't care if their software is not compatible with macOS.

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
SensibleSideButtons (free) — again if you have a mouse with side buttons this will hook them up to back/forward
