Previous versions of OmniWeb (like, late-'90s versions) had a loading bar in the address field very like Safari's. We took it out in part because there's no way for the browser to know how much stuff it's going to have to load, especially in these days of iframes and javascript and so on, so there's no way for it to give actual information to the user --- it's just a misleading display...

Hmmm...sounds fair enough. Now that you mention it, I don't really see much of a loading bar anywhere. Guess I'm just used to having it in so many browsers.

I have switched from Safari only recently and was going to request that feature as well. Hm, your point makes a lot of sense.
However, I frequently overlook the small spinning wheel next to the URL field. A more eye-catching feedback mechanism would be nice. Best regards, /Markus.

The "loading x of x items" at bottom makes more sense to user these days IMHO.
It is really funny to hear the status in addressbar is also a Omniweb invented feature.

Note, if you click the spinning status wheel it will open the activity monitor and show you exactly what is being downloaded (or has stalled).
