I agree that it's possible, and that the majority of utility websites do use a backend to provide their utility, but it seems curlconverter.com doesn't make any requests to a website to convert and instead does so in javascript.
It would be nice if more sites offered themselves as PWAs that worked when you set "throttling" to "offline" in the dev menu, so that you could ensure that no data is leaving the browser when working with sensitive info.
