Is your feature request related to a problem?

Monitor tab is not usefull if you have not connected your printer via USB. Using Octorpint of Mainsail webpage to view the printing process and control in the monitor tab, its easier to modify any particular slicer property change

Describe the solution you'd like

A simple webview instead of monitor tab. Directly setup an installed browser to select the renderer.

Describe alternatives you've considered

OrcaSlicer have this feature. It's not controlling the webpage, only show the info that should be visible in the normal browser.

The current "Monitor" tab is to provide USB printing functionality to the early UltiMaker printers that require it (no SD card slot). Because of that it probably won't be changed. The idea isn't bad though. I think it would require another tab dedicated to the web page.
