Description

I'm not sure this is feasible yet, but transferring a user request over from #492. User's would like to be able to launch DevTools in their default browser.

    With the release of Flutter 2 last month, is it now more feasible to launch DevTools in a browser of our choosing? I installed Flutter for the first time today and it's still complaining that I don't have Chrome installed

    EDIT: DevTools actually opened in Brave (my default browser) without any configuration on my part.

    My default browser is brave but Chrome is also installed. It opens Chrome when it founds it.

    I hope this can be revisited soon. Being browser agnostic is very important, as many developers use non-Chrome browsers.
