Features & Capabilities

Load Progress Bar is a Chrome extension that adds a sleek and minimal progress indicator to every page while it loads. Inspired by Firefox for Android's native progress bar, this add-on provides a thin bar at the top or bottom of your browser window to visually display loading progress in real time.

You can easily customize the appearance of the bar to suit your preferences—adjust the color, thickness, opacity, and whether it appears at the top or bottom of the page. This lightweight extension enhances your browsing experience by providing clear and subtle feedback on page loading status without cluttering the interface.

User Reviews

Users appreciate Load Progress Bar for restoring a clear and customizable page load progress indicator removed in recent Firefox versions. It addresses frustrations with Firefox's subtle or missing progress cues by providing a visible, adjustable progress bar. However, some users note it doesn't show feedback during initial remote server contact and is incompatible with certain pages or newer Firefox versions, indicating room for improvements and updates.

Pros

Provides a visible progress bar that replaces Firefox's removed traditional progress bar, enhancing feedback during page loads.
Highly customizable with options to adjust thickness, color, and style to fit user preferences.
Simple, convenient, and works well to indicate page loading status.
Helps users who are frustrated with Firefox's UI changes and lack of clear load progress indicators.
Improves user experience and usability by making page load status clear and noticeable.

Cons

Does not work on certain pages such as addons.mozilla.org due to design/security restrictions.
Initial contact with the remote server has no visual feedback until the page starts loading, limiting early load status indication.
Some users note it stopped working in newer Firefox versions (example: version 85.0) and request updates to maintain compatibility.

Is Load Progress Bar Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Load Progress Bar requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
