Web based apps can process data locally at your own computer, for instance by using JavaScript.
Secure PGP support is available for many web mail services by this add-on for several browsers: https://www.mailvelope.com/
While PGP is still extremely useful for signing email messages and for confirming the signature of others, it in my opinion is obsolete if thinking about privacy since the general availability of mature open source End-to-End encrypting Messaging services like the one provided by the matrix.org protocol having clients for all platforms, from smartphone clients to graphical PC and even CLI clients for Linux.
