I have several devices that can be monitored and controlled through a web browser by entering their IP address. Can I use the Web Browser Module to open the devices web page and use that page to make the same changes that can be made through with a web browser?

Yes, on Vision.

Download it and run it in 2-hour trial mode.

I use it for accessing e.g. web page of Moxa hardware.

Note if the hardware you mention is really old and uses old web tech, it might therefore be blocked - hence my recommendation to try it and see.

Does it have to be paid for to us to use it permanently? If so how much? Can you configure it to use a specified browser, e.g. Chrome, Exchange, Firefox, etc...

It doesn't launch a browser, and it's most like chrome as it's build on chromium.

Yes you have to pay for more than 2 hours and this is how much:
