In which case I gladly stand corrected. Props to the Firefox team, that minimal toolbar layout is definitely superior to the 15 odd buttons on IE6's toolbar, especially where installing Office adds a new button. It appears Apple got the <a href="http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/clav/#fusion" rel="nofollow">integrated load bar</a> and <a>stop/reload button</a> first. But hey, Firefox has it too now.

The whole point of a load bar is the animation. I still give Apple props for design minimalism though; the more room there is for web content the better.

If the page load hangs or the user isn't accustomed to it, they may think part of the text is selected. This wouldn't cause the slightest bit of strife with people like you and me, but most people using the Internet aren't like us. I think that the Safari progress bar is worse.
