Disable embedded browser.

[TradeIdeasPhilip]

Describe the bug
When I open Vite project in VS code it opens an embedded browser. That browser doesn't work well for me. I'd like to disable that, but the documented options don't seem to work.

My first attempt was based on the instructions found at https://vitejs.dev/config/#server-https . It says that I can specify a boolean for server.open in the config file. I set that value to false in my vite.config.ts. VS Code validated that I had the right syntax. You can see the entire config file in the Reproduction section, below.

Further googling brought me to this page. vitejs/vite#2552. That suggests that there might be a workaround using command line arguments. I'm willing to try, but I don't know where the command line is! I have installed the Vite plugin for VS code and I have created a config file. That combination is all it takes to bring up that embedded browser each time I restart VS code or reopen this project.

I appreciate any help you can offer.
