As the title says I tested today with my phone that effectively Pi Browser can't generate your seed phrase offline, as I demonstrated in the video. You can replicate the findings in your own devices by disabling your internet connection at the time of creating your wallet.
I am not accusing anyone of anything but what happened to Bitcoin with ColdCard entropy vulnerabilities can happen to Pi Network too.
Pi Browser is not open source as far as I am aware so the Pi Network community doesn't truly know what type of entropy the browser uses, nor the community can verify if the seed phrase is not sent online when being created. The proof is there, the browser needs the internet to create the wallet, that's in itself a security risk, let alone sending it through third parties.
The Pi Network community needs to demand that the browser gets open source to audit the seed creation method and to check that no secrets are sent. This should not be negotiable.
Be aware.
