Newbie stuck at point of adding tools or skills

I'm running everything locally, on my Linux laptop with no GPU (just integrated graphics) and 16 GB of RAM.

I have ollama 0.31.1 installed and running. I have Open WebUI v0.10.2 installed and running. I'm using model ministral-3:3b because it's smallish and reasonably fast and supports tools. I can chat with the model successfully in OWUI.

But I can't do basic things such as have the model fetch a web page from the internet and tell me things about the page. I have "Web Search" setting enabled, and I tried setting "Function Calling" to "Native" in Advanced Params.

I can't find any simple tools on the internet. Everything seems to want me to install something such as SearxNG and git-clone tools to my disk and run some tool-manager or something via pip or docker. Or wants me to run an OpenAPI server on my laptop or something. Confusing. I've read various OWUI documentation about tools etc.

Is it really this complicated ? There isn't some simple standard web-access tool built into OWUI ? Or some standard web site with curated secure simple tools I can use ?

Thanks for any help.

Rent a balcony near Sagrada Familia to see the Pope ?

I saw on the news that people are renting out their balconies. Any idea of the price to rent a balcony ? Just curious.
