    I’m confused. How are you defining “download” and “online” here?

    The website suggests that the server holds the files and does the extraction:

    Extract and Explore compressed files online [emphasis mine]

    which fits with the github claim of:

    to view and extract zip files online without downloading them

    but the website also states that:

    nothing leave your browser

    which suggests that the server has nothing to do with it, and you do actually download the zip files first.

    What am I missing?
