Update web browser settings information for SSMS#46
Conversation
Clarified the behavior of the 'Use system default web browser' setting in SSMS versions. I don't know exactly what version stopped allowing configuration, but it's no longer configurable in SSMS 22.6. (This isn't a problem - I just used to use the built-in browser for funny demos, but it doesn't appear to be accessible anymore.)

Can you review the proposed changes? IMPORTANT: When the changes are ready for publication, adding a #label:"aq-pr-triaged" |

@BrentOzar Actually, that setting isn't specific to opening an inline web viewer within the editor, it's related to authentication and opening what you have specified as the default browser for your workstation. In addition, these settings are a bit in flux as we work on bringing everything under Unified settings (as there's another setting under Tools > Options > Environment > Accounts. I will work on making the documentation clearer in the interim. |

@erinstellato-ms yeah, I only noticed it because I went hunting around for the inline web viewer - the page was wrong either way. I figured the inline one is DOA, too. |
