Instructions for opening Drupal could be simpler

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

In the "Getting Started with DrupalPod" section of the Contribution Guide pane, step 4 says to open the Remote Explorer button, which isn't labelled by default, so a new user has to search the interface, and if they guess it's one of the icons on the left, they have to hover over them to see which one is the remote explorer. Even after opening that, it lists ports, and none of them has the globe icon the instructions say to click.

Describe the solution you'd like

The DrupalPod interface by default includes a Simple Browser pane, which includes a link in the top right to launch the site in a new tab. It would be much easier for users to locate and use that.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Thank you @mandclu
I really like the idea of making it a simple process.

By the way, I added a command preview, that a user can run in Terminal, and it will open a preview of the Drupal website.

We should probably update the instructions to include that, and find a way to add an icon (or a DrupalPod menu), that will be part of the DrupalPod vscode extension.
