This gives the pointer a blue beachball on Mac Safari. Is that intended? Have never been sure what the blue beachball's supposed to be.

Hi, I'm the author of NProgress. Yes! It's intentional.

You can disable this by removing the `cursor: wait` rule in the CSS file.

That cursor makes me think that the browser has crashed/hung/is not responding.

Honestly, I'd consider nixing it altogether by default. Even though it's in the CSS spec, :wait effectively duplicates an action that has a rather particular meaning at the level of the OS. Confusion over it is probably more common than one might expect.
