What is the current behavior?

Opens default browser which is not always dev browser

What is the expected behavior?

Good idea. Looks like the opn package supports it. PR welcome!

[carloscuatin]

support names of package opn example for:

macOS: google chrome
Linux: google-chrome
Windows: chrome

or support chrome for all S.O ?

I just downloaded https://polypane.rocks and came running here to see how I can have webpack open that up (dev browser) instead of my default 'browsing' browser.

@typerory creator of Polypane here, let me see if I that's something I can do :)

@typerory so, this took a while (hi!) but with the upcoming version of Polypane, the app is installable and you'll be able to use --open polypane.
