Chrome adding a fast page indicator

I like this change, I hope Firefox adds it too (medium warning, disable JavaScript):

I’m not sure how I feel about this - I have always found Google’s pagespeed tests not really reflective of real world experience, where visiting a page with excellent pagespeed results, vs some with not quite as good and where the latter actually loading (or appearing to load) much quicker. (But I am using Safari - so maybe it is a browser vs browser issue.)

This is mostly to just downmark the sites that are loading 800 images and 34 megs of javascript like many news sites, hopefully to encourage them to make things a little lighter. ^.^

Chrome’s pagespeed tests have been pretty accurate for what I’ve seen at least both in chrome-based browsers and firefox. Like my sites load in a fraction of a second for everything, but some other sites definitely take 10-20 seconds with a lot of jumping around as it loads… ^.^;

Safari and Chrome both use the same rendering engine for note, it’s their javascript engines that differ so that is where you should see the differences.
