I like it. Progress bars aren't immediately obvious, especially in a browser like Chrome. I have watched people when doing our usability tests and they click several times or try to reload on certain slower pages because they can't tell anything has happened.
- sdfjkl 13y agoIf your browser has a non-obvious loading indicator, I'd say that's a problem with the browser UI and should be solved there, not on websites.
- rhizome 13y agoIt has appeared to me that there are pageloading techniques that interfere with browser spinners. Many times a page is loading and there is a plain arrow where on other sites it shows a spinner.
- JeremyMorgan 13y agoabsolutely, but we don't have a lot of control over that.
- zipppy 13y agoHowever, websites can't control what browsers their users use, nor can they control how those browsers give feedback regarding load times. They can control their own code. Not saying that websites should implement this, but companies aren't going to want to point to browsers being the problem. Every company wants to (try to) control their users' experiences, for better or worse.
