There's also nothing wrong with wanting to know about it. So I applaud the creation of this extension.

Though he does go on to say:

> Ideally, the browsers "loading icon" should spin for those requests as well

On that point, I don't agree, since it would give the misleading appearance—at least to me—that the page wasn't even done with its initial rendering. But perhaps he is suggesting the standard loading icon should switch to a sort of unobtrusive network in/out indicator after the initial rendering. That I would like.
