    REMOVE UNNEEDED BROWSER EXTENSIONS

    When performing macOS tune-ups, check and remove unneeded applications and browser extensions. These third-party add-ons can add bulk and performance delays. If you’ve previously loaded extensions that you no longer use, just delete the extensions.

    REVIEW iCLOUD DRIVE AND MAC STORAGE SETTINGS

    Tune-ups offer a natural opportunity to also revisit iCloud Drive and Mac storage settings. Review the configurations within System Preferences and make any adjustments that have become more appropriate since the last time these values were set.
