Very useful extension for readers. On huge pages loading slower, also I would like to change color of the progress bar and maybe thickness.

If you read a lot of web articles in work or at home this is a very neat little add-on for productivity

Great extension, works like it should. Any way to let users change the color in the future? ;-)
