Description

I have some users that would benefit greatly from the ability to create and view silences via the web UI without having to do time zone math and I think this would go a long way towards generally lowering the barrier to entry for the Prometheus/AM ecosystem.

I think that this would likely be best achieved by fishing the time zone information from the user's browser and enabled and stored on a per-user basis via the 'Settings' tab, similarly to the current 'First day of the week' option.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; begin by locating the web UI's Settings tab and the silence creation and viewing flows. Review how the existing “First day of the week” option is stored, then determine how browser timezone detection and per-user persistence should work. Done means users can enable the option and create and view silences without manual timezone conversion.
