I'm not sure at this point whether it's Edge I like, or running a browser inside Parallels Desktop, but I'm surprised that I'm still clicking on that icon.
In fact, it felt like Parallels Desktop was doing such an excellent job of managing memory, it felt like I could pile a lot of tabs into the browser, and my Mac wouldn't miss a beat. You'd think that running virtualization software with a preview operating system (I'm using Windows 11) and then throwing a browser on top of that would kludgy and cumbersome. It fired up, I thought, 'oh, I wonder how bad this can be?' assumed it would be quite awful, and then realized that I'd been using the browser all day without any issues. It all started a few weeks back when I accidentally clicked on Edge in my Mac's dock (I'd added it when I was testing Parallels Desktop).
