 the screen were debug text messages while testing web kit, not an intended
 Browse feature to ship. At the very least they are rather distracting, not
 Sugar like, do not work for touch enabled devices (i.e. no ability to
 hover a cursor over a link), and should at best only appear if you delay
 hover over a link.

 word "Loading...", or the word Loading... could be the Tab name while
 loading, or a graphical spinner could be shown in the middle of the
 loading canvas space (ideally composited over whatever page is there, but
 it could be a solid rectangle with a spinner on it).

 A graphical spinner like in firefox will look nice
