Research direction
Start by locating the ui5 serve --open CLI handling and how it invokes the open package. Add support for selecting a browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, and verify that the chosen browser is used when opening the server root.

Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Using ui5 serve --open will open the server root directory in the default browser. But if you want to use a browser different than the default system browser, there is no way to specify it.
Describe the solution you'd like
The open package used by the ui5-tooling supports this feature. A simple solution could be adding an additional cli argument, e.g. --browser when one can specify the browser to be used, e.g. chrome|firefox|edge, the value can be then used when executing the open request.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Copying link and manually opening it in the desired browser
