bubble1, you should read this : https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/coldstorage.html

Usually people use older PCs/laptops for cold storage, and new computers for watch-only wallets for a broadcast transactions. I never go in that direction, hardware wallet is a much cheaper option - although it must be admitted that properly made cold storage has an even greater level of protection.

Thanks for the link, which I did read, but it did not explain how the online wallet provided a view of transactions, balances etc.
