Open two tabs, A and B.
Load one page in A, and another in B.
Now, suppose A finishes loading first. While tab A is open, you see the
"downloading image from bar.com" messages in the status bar coming from tab B. I
find this confuses me as to whether tab A has finished loading or not, and would
like an option to make status bar messages only go to their own tab.

Yes, I know I can tell if its loading or not by looking at the animations along
the tab bar, but the status bar messages confuse my poor brain.
