Since the staus bar is gone, I dont know if anything is loading. Yes, there is a spinning icon in the tab bar, but that doesnt spin when stuff is loaded via javascript.

Additionally I dont use the tab bar normally. So enabling it just to have info if something is loading seems suboptimal.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Make the status bar come back might be the easiest way. Or color the icon right to the url not only when the page loads but also when other stuff loads. Or give some option via the web console to get info on whats loading. Currently, I have to have the web console open before loading the page, otherwise i cannot get info on whats loading.
