Alt - F - K (menubar File => Work offline) It applies to the whole browser, not the current tab. But good enough.
Does this absolutely prevent a page from saving information, eg local stiarge, and later transmitting it when you either visit the site or a Web page where it is iframed?

Technically the app can cache files and phone home the next time we connect to internet i guess? Not aware of how WASM works. Not paranoid but just want to know if this tool can be downloaded once and run from browser forever -- without having to disable internet. Does it not generate any network traffic at all - zero - even when there is internet connectivity available? Whether to the home domain or otherwise? Even…
EDIT: we also use google ads since a few hours, to cover hosting expenses (1 ad on the page, should be enough for this small site)

> always ironic when ppl say this on websites hosted in the us, a country with the most documented cases of governmental organisation backdooring/spying :/ That is because other countries do not let you document/publish this information. :-) https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/04/world/europe/russia-censo... https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/08/uks-online-safety-bill... At least not as much as American courts will allow…
backdooring and censorship are two very different things
Parent poster talked about backdooring being documented in the US, not comparing the two in general. I posted links about non-US governments making it illegal to document the backdooring or other things the government may worry about an unpopular reaction to. The practice of the 1st amendment in the US offers very strong, but not absolute, protections against this.

The lack of a good PDF editor in Linux has always seemed strange to me, considering the relative frequency of "fiddle with a PDF" tasks like splicing pages and so on. Sure you can do it with Pdftk (or stapler these days), and a mish-mash of pdfinfo, Imagemagick and so on but the GUI programs mostly seem pretty bad offerings considering they're a fairly thin shell around library operations.

Making the source available wouldn't give you any guarantees about what is running at that site, so I don't see how that would help.
Perhaps with the source you could setup an offline server on your own computer so you don't have to upload your data anywhere?

Have a look at https://simplePDF.eu – online like PDFTool.org and with local processing as well. It’s free and does not require an account (I don’t like websites that force you to sign up to do anything) Disclosure: I’m the solo developer behind it
If it’s offline, bundle it with Electron, release the source code and make the build process public!
