Allow configuring custom browser / browser profiles

[Neven1986]

Describe the feature

The customer should be able to choose/use additional browsers/browser profiles (if configured), beside system default one.

Use Case

The customers are often using different browsers/different browser profiles for different types of local accounts (personal account/ADM account/...). The customer should be able to choose which browser/browser profile they would like to use.

Proposed Solution

1. Customer should have the ability to define browser section in config file, eg:

[browser chrome]
path="/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome"

[browser chrome-profile1]
path="/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --profile-directory='Profile 1' --new-window"

There should be switch, eg. --browser which allows choosing browser, eg. --browser chrome-profile1

2. Customer is able to define default browser/profile from the list of defined browsers/profiles in the config file, by adding default=true to the configuration. Example:

[browser chrome]
path="/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome"

[browser chrome-profile1]
path="/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --profile-directory='Profile 1' --new-window"
default=true

3. If no --browser switch is used and there is no default browser defined in the cLI configuration file, use system default browser

Hi @Neven1986, thanks for this feature request. I brought this up for review with the team, and agreed it's a good feature request, but that it'd need to be an environment variable rather than a config option. Leaving this open for tracking and to accrue interest.
