Set default browser for VSCode application #96132

Description

@1oglop1

Hi, I'm using multiple browsers / profiles and I would like to be able to set the default web browser per application or workspace.

The solution could be similar to what VisualStudio have which gives a user drop down menu to chose the browser.
Ideally there should be an option in settings to select a default browser for all actions which require VSCode to open the web browser.

Example of current problems:
If I want to log in into a LiveShare extension it opens my default browser (chrome) where my microsoft profile is different then the one I want to use to sign in for sharing the code.

This is very irritating because the microsoft URLs often contains multiple redirects and who knows what so I cannot just copy the URL and sing in using a different browser with the correct profile.

Here is more evidence that this feature would be appreciated by more people.
