Putting a thin progress bar at the top of your page is competing with Mobile Safari's thin progress bar at the top of your page.

Aside from the whole Department of Redundancy Department feel, they both display progress at different rates.

Why not just detect which browser is viewing the site and not show the progress bar for mobile and safari browsers? That should solve this "double watch" issue.

Because broswer detection is an anti-pattern , and you dont know in a few years if chrome will do the same... Will you go back to all your projects to fix them ?
