VSCode should not open browser on first start without user's say-so #14934

Description

@janisozaur
  • VSCode Version: 1.7.1 02611b4
  • OS Version: Arch

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install visual-studio-code from AUR
  2. Open installed application.

Upon first start vscode opens a web browser pointing to https://code.visualstudio.com/docs?start=true. It should not do that without getting a confirmation from user it is OK to do so.

Some editors choose to have a "welcome" page with links to documentation (cf. Eclipse, Qt Creator), it could be one possible solution.

Perhaps a MD/RST document could be opened upon first start with some brief info and helpful links (cf. Vim, Emacs).

Another option would be a prompt asking user to open a link could do as well, but personally I think this would be worse solution.
