For the extra paranoid, I can confirm that it does work offline after you press the button and let it load. You can hide your face until it loads, and then cut the connection. Be sure to close the tab before you go online again.

Service Workers are a thing.

If you're extra extra paranoid, use a disposable VM in Qubes OS.

Wait—service workers can keep running after a tab is closed?!

Maybe or maybe not, depending on browser implementation. They can be kept in memory if the browser sees no memory need.

But they might store stuff to localStorage. Right - localStorage is also a thing. And so are cookies.
