I think there is an easy way to prove this to users. Make your thing be a single page self contained html file which they save into the hard disk. Then they can trust the restricted permissions with which chrome runs such local files.

If you have a tech savvy audience they can also view your thing in an iframe with only sandbox="allow-scripts" to prove that it's not making network requests.

I wrote an html/js log viewer with those security models https://GitHub.com/ljw1004/seaoflogs - it handles up to 10kline log files decently, all locally.
