Describe the feature
It would be nice if there was a web view extension/built in feature for previewing websites inside of Zed without having to go into a web browser while building web apps in Zed. This could be implemented by using Tauri's Wry crate which talks to the native webview on the OS of which it's running. This would also help other GPUI apps cause they could embed webviews

If there have a WebKit component in Zed, then some case like Markdown, AsciiDoc, HTML, CSV Preview, Testing Results ..., that will easy to write and control the styling in HTML, it would easier to do than write in Rust.
If there was a webview component that would encourage people to write all functionality in HTML+JS, at which point you should unironically use vscode for better performance as that is a webview without all the resource use that Zed incurs from its custom UI.
How about wry?

@jansol Agree this would be the case if extensions were allowed to be written in HTML+JS but this could very well be a built-in feature similar to how JetBrains IDEs render markdown built-in.
