Is your task related to a problem? Please describe

Upstream VS Code has a known issue with the correct WebView work depending on the browser's settings related to the Third-Party Cookies blocking. ATM, it is not documented on the VS Code docs.

The Che user may face such an issue very easily when opening Che in Firefox on Mac OS.
The problem appears as an empty WebView-based page in VS Code UI. Also, the user gets a notification saying:

Describe the solution you'd like

We should document this upstream problem as a known issue and describe the possible options for how the user can work it around by changing the browser's settings.
The details I've described in #21852 (comment).

Describe alternatives you've considered

As a more general solution, we could create a dedicated page in Che docs describing:

  • the supported browsers;
  • the known issues which are browser-specific;
  • particular browser's settings need to be changed in order to ensure stable work;
  • collect other browser-specific notes.

@max-cx I wrote some notes here https://gist.github.com/azatsarynnyy/bb2947b2fef01b2776162713add33505
It can be used as a base for a new docs chapter, probably.

@RomanNikitenko can you please help me to verify how the suggested workaround works on macOS? It would be great if you could check which of the described option works for you.

Thanks, @RomanNikitenko for verifying it.
So, there's nothing specific for Mac users anymore.
