Parallels is great thus far until I came across a nasty bug (at least for me). When attempting to go to the Chrome Extensions Store using Chromium this crashes the browser. Upon closing the frozen crashed browser will crash the entire Parallels VM session. This is 100% reproducible on my end. Firefox here we come. Host: macOS Monterey Guest: MX Linux 21 --- 1 - Install Chromium: sudo apt-get install chromium 2 - Launch Chromium 3 - Go to the Chrome Store either from the URL or option in the extensions menu option 4 - Chromium will then freeze/crash and closing this either from the Launcher or terminal (if launched from terminal) will crash the entire Parallels VM session --- Crash dump: prouser@mxlinux:~ $ chromium [9157:9157:1208/162824.880359:ERROR:gpu_init.cc(426)] Passthrough is not supported, GL is desktop [9157:9157:1208/162825.225271:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(259)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 1 times!

Fixed the crash! Turns out when 'Use hardware acceleration when available' checked this was causing the crash. Once this was disabled going to the Chrome extension page worked fine without causing any freezes/crashes.
