What happened?

I am new to Pomerium. Firstly, thank you for making Pomerium and making Pomerium Core freely available.

Currently when using pomerium-cli, it automatically launches a browser when a connection needs to be setup.

For example, when run this command, and connect to Redis, Firefox browser is automatically launched.

$ ./pomerium-cli tcp redis.localhost.pomerium.io:6379 --listen localhost:6379 --alternate-ca-path ./root_ca.crt --browser-cmd "firefox"

Your browser has been opened to visit:

What did you expect to happen?

AWS CLI has an option --no-browser that disables automatically opening the verification URL using the default browser.

This option is very helpful when we want to manually copy and paste the URL into our current browser instance.

Would it be possible to introduce a similar option for pomerium-cli? Thank you!
