Comment(by martin.langhoff):

 No, I don't think this is the right track.

  * In 2013, nobody accepts a webbrowser that during loading would switch
 to a pure "busy" cursor... it's like back to Netscape 2.0 on Windows 3.11
 . Please observe that in 11.3.x Browse has a nice pointer + busy spinner
 (left_ptr_watch it is called in the gnome theme) indicating you can still
 click on things.
  * We will be hiding the cursor quite often (on touch units at least). So
 Browse needs a spinner somewhere in the toolbar. (I see erikos has made
 this same point)
