Are there any tools to run an untrusted client side web application isolated from the internet?
turn off wifi/unplug network cable?
and never plug back in again ;)

#12This is a nice idea! I once whipped up a shell script to do the same thing. UX feedback - disable autocorrections on the input fields [1], you may want to trim white space as well. [1] https://davidwalsh.name/disable-autocorrect

I have some prime real estate in Florida to sell you if you do!

Probably should also run it in a sandboxed tab and delete all site related data after use. It is possible for sites to detect network connection and sync data when a connection is re-established.
EDIT: you could also just run the local server in offline mode and shut it down before you re-connect.

#17Neat. Works with Unicode!
Feature request: giant passwords like that one that was posted on the side of a building.
I ran it with network off and saw the code, so it looks safe.

Not really sure what use knowing my wifi password would be unless you were specifically stalking me anyway.
You have a password and an SSID for somewhere in the world (maybe, if they didn’t lie) or if tracing IP addresses, somewhere in a neighbhourhood or city).
Seems about as useful as an MH 370 flight data recorder password (if such things exist). Yes, you could break into the black box with it, but that’s not the real problem.

#19I do wish there was an option to safely disable all connectivity in a browser tab (forever) like with Javascript or camera access.
Yes, saving the page, disconnecting your network connection, then deleting the page would work, but it's a real bother.

Running it on Firefox with web inspector opened, I saw no network traffic at all after the page loaded, so it wasn't sending the network name or password anywhere off my device.
This method picks up "most" requests, but not all. eg. websocket and webrtc can be used to exfiltrate data but it won't show up on inspector.
They do show up, not the connections themselves, but the initiation, no?? At least I always see lots of 101 Switching Protocols responses on sites that use websocket, it might be some sort of nonstandard gateway though. Never used it so dunno.
Of course even if that's the case, you gotta load the website with the network inspector already open, to see the initiation.
