Throbber in Ephy 1.4

Hi,

I saw in the Ephy 1.4 plan, a reference to removing the throbber. I
was wondering what is that all about? Will there be something else to
show that a page is loading, ala Opera? Just curious. I sometimes
think that a page has loaded, but then notice that the throbber is
still going. Kind of handy for me.

Thanks....Paul
