I wish it was easier to run code in browser that you could know did not make any network connections, thinking mostly of the client creating secrets here.

whats preventing setting up a proxy (like mitmproxy, burpsuite interceptor) in the browser? pretty easy

That requires a dedicated instance of your browser as (AFAIK) most browsers don't support per-tab proxy configuration. If I understood correctly, parent wants tabs to work normally but offline tabs (like the secret generator) to be airgapped.

Yes. I was thinking of pages that work well as stand alone SPA. E.g. some paint, graph and edit things that exists, I would like to force it offline.

The problem here is that I need this client to make ONE network connection to the internet to be able to store something. That is a big subject I do not have the solution for.

Cumbersome but easy. I have no problem with it but I have a real problem teaching users about it.
