Allow opening videos in browser

What Problem Does This Solve?

I sometimes want to read the comments after watching a video, which currently involves opening a browser and manually finding the video I just watched.


Suggest a Solution (optional)

Add a context menu item "Open in browser", which opens the video's URL with the default OS handler.

It looks like in Python this can be done very easily with webbrowser.open(): https://docs.python.org/3/library/webbrowser.html.

You can read comments via the plugin (Even though reading longer texts can be annoying with the auto scroll )

Ooh neat, didn't realize! But yeah that's not very usable, I'd rather read them in a browser where I can also open links or searches.
