Precisely. Much better. I know something is happening. And if done well, I can interact with the shell, like use the search box, while the content is still loading.
- fuzzy2 5y agoA skeleton screen is not interactive though. You cannot do anything except watching it pulse or whatever. Keep in mind that the content here is the shell itself. I also already know something is happening. That’s what the busy cursor is for.
- gherkinnn 5y agoThat does make it like a splash screen of old. With extra teasing. I understand the annoyance. It seems as if only Firefox on Windows has these skeleton screens and so couldn't try for myself. I assumed that much of the shell like search bar, close button, and the menu would be ready.
