It's super simple!

WebBrowserTask namewhatevz = new WebBrowserTask();
namewhatevz.Uri = new uri("http://google.se", UriKind.Absolute);
namewhatevz.Show();

Regards!

Just register a Click event on your button and in the event handler use LaunchUri:

To do so, go to your .xaml and edit your Button.

<Button x:Name="LinkButton" Click="Button_Click" Content="Click here" />

Your Button LinkButton now executes code behind function Button_Click when you click it. Place the following function to code behind xaml.cs.

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
   await Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri("www.google.com"));
}
