Found the issue, i was use VS remote via ssh and cursor wants chrome to be installed on the remote machine not the local one

In the case of WSL, installing Chrome inside WSL helped. Well, it’s not an optimal solution, but better than nothing.)

Hi all, we are working on fixing the browser to work in remote (wsl/ssh/dev container) environments.

In the meantime, please add "anysphere.cursor-playwright": ["ui"] to the remote.extensionKind setting to the user settings:

    "remote.extensionKind": {
      "anysphere.cursor-playwright": ["ui"],
    }
