Web browser module
I would use it to sample things from YouTube but I bet some folks would also be into it as fodder for visual processing too.

I think there's a limitation on being able to route the audio into a host application. The only existing web AUv3 that I know of is Web AU, and its audio can't be routed to the host. It can be heard, but not recorded. At last reading, it couldn't stream video either. That's not conclusive evidence it can't be done, but I would think if it could they would have managed it before now.
There's an app called Tube AU that can stream YouTube videos ... when it works. YouTube manages to change things to break it pretty regularly.

Yeah Tube Au never works for me
It might be different if the module is native to the host than if it's an AUv3 plugin. I'm not saying such a module isn't possible in Drambo, only that there seems to be some kind of restriction for AUv3 plugins, which could also mean problems for a native plugin. I really can't say.
If radio unit can stream from the internet then I'm not sure why web based audio wouldn't work. Perhaps it's because Apple forces use of Safari's web engine for browser access no matter which browser is involved. Maybe since RadioUnit isn't serving up web pages that restriction isn't there.
I'll stop now. That's more than enough uninformed thinking out load.
I would like a web browser module but more to enable Webmidi apps and potentially coding.
@rodin suggested this app to enable the configuration app for novation controllers, but I was able to use it to run Strudel and send MIDI to Drambo.
Now it’d be cool if something like this became a AUv3 or was a native module in Drambo. Then Strudel (in a way a grooveboxy kind of coding environment) could be sync’ed with Drambo.
