"Dart: Dev Tools Browser" should be clearly documented as only working for local workspaces #5431
Description
Describe the bug
Split off from flutter/devtools#8912 (see flutter/devtools#8912 (comment))
If you open devtools in the browser while debugging in Dart in VS Code in WSL, the "Dart: Dev Tools Browser" setting does not seem to take effect. Whether it is set to "chrome" or "default", it always opens in "default", which is Edge on my system. Note that this only is an issue for me in WSL, and the setting works appropriately in Windows natively.
To Reproduce
- Set default browser on your system to Edge (or something else non-Chrome)
- Open VS Code in WSL2 Ubuntu
- Set the "Dart: Dev Tools Browser" setting to "chrome"
- debug a Dart program
- At a breakpoint, open devtools in browser
- Observe that it opens in non-Chrome instead of Chrome
Expected behavior
Setting works, opens in chrome if specified as such.
