Feature Request: Support for Installing and Running Remote-SSH from Browser

[lanshuye123]

Dear VSCode Team,

I am writing to suggest an enhancement to the Remote-SSH extension that would significantly improve its accessibility and usability in remote working scenarios. Specifically, I propose that the Remote-SSH extension be adapted to support installation and operation directly from a web browser using WebAssembly (WASM) technology.

The rationale behind this suggestion is that there have been advancements in running OpenSSH via WASM, which has already demonstrated the feasibility of executing SSH commands within a browser environment. By integrating this capability with the Remote-SSH extension, users would benefit from the following advantages:

Increased Flexibility: Users could access their remote servers from virtually any device with a modern browser, without the need to install additional software.
Enhanced Mobility: This feature would enable developers to work on-the-go, ensuring they can connect to their development environments from anywhere.
Improved Security: Running the extension in a browser could potentially offer enhanced security features, such as sandboxing, which are inherent to web technologies.
I believe that supporting Remote-SSH through a browser-based interface would align with the growing trend of web-based development tools and could set a new standard for remote development practices.

Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to seeing the continued innovation and improvements in VSCode and its extensions.
