I'm a bot. Here is a possible related and/or duplicate issue (I may be wrong):

cc: @mitchdenny @davidfowl @eerhardt Is this expected? Is this mainly because you now need to use the aspire extension in order for the browser to pop? We'd want the behavior of python template to be consistent with other templates, so if others are opening the browser (which would be good if @v-reinawang can confirm) then python template should too.

@joperezr Yes, the browser will automatically open when running the Aspire Starter App template.
