Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/2172

Netbird cli (in Linux at least) doen't support BROWSER env variable. It always opens the verification url with the default browser.

I'd like to be able to specify a the env variable to chose which browser to use, for example BROWSER=/usr/bin/google-chrome netbird up.

while not a direct fulfillment we have recently added a --no-browser flag to the netbird up command:

      --no-browser                      do not open the browser for SSO login
