view progress in the address bar

so there'll be no need to always look at the status bar...

Look closely at the Tab when you open a new tab or navigate to a new page in the same tab. There is a Green Vertical Progress Status Bar on the left side of the tab. The Green Bar goes away completely when the page is done loading.

update

I no longer see a progress bar on the tabs

instead, after site icons were put to use on the tabs, there is now a tail chasing circle displayed where the site icon will be while the tab is loading. It is not exactly a progress bar but it does let you know the tab is loading.
