I’ve always thought this would be a cool thing to offer, one thing that I’ve asked myself though is why should I trust you to use my key? Who guarantees that you’re not going to abuse it or use it in an inefficient way?

I’m unfamiliar with how these keys are priced but I guess they still use number of tokens that you input? What happens if one day your software has a bug that sends 1k tokens multiple times and I get charged for it because I’ve used my key?

Note that this is not a complaint and I would definitely love a “bring my key to use for free” tier, just a legitimate question that I asked myself from time to time.

On the other hand, I trust you very much in doing your best work to avoid any bug like the one I’ve presented above and squeeze every little penny out of your key to maximise earnings.

Finally, how do you make people entrust you with their keys?

The browser runs the code, which is open-sourced. You can look at the network tab of the debugging console or isolate the browser completely by sand boxing it. I agree that UX can be improved but that’s more on the browser side.
