<p dir="ltr">Well, even if you carry the app with you on a USB stick you'll still need to be able to trust what's on it. Otherwise someone could borrow it and modify the app to, say, send your private key to their web server. So unless you never let the USB stick out of your sight, you'll need to have the block device encrypted and/or have the app cryptographically signed. Either way, you'll need some separate trusted crypto software to either decrypt the block device or verify the app signature. And then you'll still be vulnerable to browser bugs allowing for, say, information leakage or code injection across tabs (although that would probably need to be attacks specifically targeted against your app).</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you do never let the USB stick out of sight - or manually check all the source code each time you use it - then I suppose you should be reasonably safe. If not, I suggest weighing the risks against how paranoid you want to be.</p>
