      The current Vivaldi version does not have any loading process until it gets a response from the target web server.

      For example, Chrome rotates counterclockwise (on the tab) between "Connecting to the target server and getting a response."

      I think Vivaldi also adds a loading animation to the address bar (Before getting a response).

      Otherwise, it looks like it is stuck when accessing some links that have a long connection time.

        I came here to post this šŸ™‚

        It does feel like the browser is not doing anything. As soon as you either click a link, or have entered a url, the address bar should have a grey background, or some other indication that stuff is happening. The only visual clue you have right now is that the reload button changes to an X.

          @hentioe In fact, there is an effect, it's just that it is static. The adress bar becomes grey (the color depends on your appearance settings) when you start to load a page, and it becomes white again when the page is loaded. But I agree that there should be something more dynamic, as in Google Chrome, there were this loading sign turning on itself.
          I think and suggest that the current animation should not be changed, but adjusted. The color should be darker or something.

            The color of the address bar is not visible if you switch tabs while you wait for the page to load.

              @nekomajin Yeah, that's another point. Maybe an animation with the tab that is loading could look nice. But i agree that the animation in chrome is very useful, and that it would be great to have somthing like this on Vivaldi.

                I can see why the traditional spinner was replaced by the progress bar, and I think it works well on pinned tabs too. But the functionality of this progress bar should be extended somehow to indicate this state of page load.

                  Totally agree - just mentioned this in another post. Would also be nice to have an upload indicator for raw file uploads when one isn't provided by the 3rd party service. I often find myself uploading files to a CMS (like plugins or themes in Wordpress) without any idea how much has been uploaded or if they're progressing at all.
