Rust workers' dev mode fails with option open Devtools if Chrome not installed, 100% CPU usage
After starting the dev mode of the Rust worker example, the option [d] open Devtools
fails with the error:
.../node_modules/wrangler/wrangler-dist/cli.js:29573
throw a;

This happens because google-chrome isn't installed (I use Fedora packaged Chromium if I need to test Chrome in my development machine, no need for Chrome specifically).
The problem is that after this, the developer mode crashes and leave a workerd process stuck at 100% on a single core. A manual kill of the process is needed:
Note: if the Devtools requires Chrome and isn't compatible with Firefox, at least try optionally with chromium-browser if Chrome isn't found.
