But since the content isn't delivered over HTTPS, it could be MITM'd to include malicious code that does send your keys somewhere.

If you watch your browser you can see if it does or doesn't. You only need trust your browser at that point.

If you don't trust your browser, you can monitor network activity as the OS level. Should provide a pretty good assurance.

That said, I still wouldn't use it without (a) a private browser window, (b) taking the machine offline, and (c) killing the browser before going back online. Unfortunately, I don't think most people who will use this will do such a thing.

(And I'm still not sure I'd trust it for any really serious work.)

Well that's not the only way it could be broken. The generator could give you a chosen (or less-random) address.
