Firefox for Android shows a thin orange progress bar beneath the navigation bar, and Chrome for Android shows a similar blue one. Firefox and Chrome for the desktop show the loading spinner in the tab.
Most browsers at least show a spinner somewhere, do they not?
In chrome the bottom left status "connecting url..." Like a grey rectangle
Most indicate this by making the refresh button into an X or similar, and usually with one or two small visual indicators. Safari on iOS shows a little bar, etc.

Forgot about that one.
Clicking on a save button and seeing the page hang is the normal way browsers handle http requests. But a javascript-enhanced experience can tell users about the local perception of the http request (ongoing, timeout, retry, error), or it can inform the user that it's safe to navigate away while their requests retry.
