Description

The essence of the request is to be able to have a better tool to understand the structure of an HTML page. Being able to right-click and selecting "Inspect Element" as is available in a standalone Safari is critical for that. Related to this, there is the issue with the webview's window size potentially being too small, so I suggest, as a complementing feature to also be able to maximize the webview tab to full screen or better yet be able to "undock" it so it can become a separate window (with the option to enable always-on-top for that window).

Why this feature/change is important?

When there's a need to understand a complex HTML page you need to be to look at the rendered page and inspect its elements. This is especially critical when the post rendering HTML code is very different from the source code, which often happens. My workaround for this right now is to copy the html body to a separate file then open it in a browser. This is a bad user experience and a tedious and error-prone process.

Thanks in advance for your consideration!
