• Did you search for similar issues before submitting this one?
  yes

• Describe the issue you encountered:
  It's a User Experience issue: I don't see any indication that a page is loading, while it's loading. I'm sure there's supposed to be a progress indication someplace, but it's either not working or escaping my attention.

• Platform (Win7, 8, 10? macOS? Linux distro?):
  Mac OS X 10.11.6

• Brave Version (revision SHA):
  71fb730

• Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open browser (I've been using it for a number of days, and usually just close the laptop's lid as opposed to shutting down)
  2. Open some website.
  3. Hit Cmd+r. Multiple times fi you want.

• Actual result:
  I NEVER get a progress indication anywhere.

• Expected result:
  Visible indication that the browser has received and understood my keystroke, and that it's now performing some progress - i.e. I can wait for it to complete as opposed to repeating my keystroke.

• Will the steps above reproduce in a fresh profile? If not what other info can be added?
  I'm not sure I know what this question means. I've only been using Brave for a week or so, but don't remember this being an issue before - if that helps.

• Is this an issue in the currently released version?
  Yes, I updated recently (yesterday? I can't remember exactly)

• Can this issue be consistently reproduced?
  On my machine... every time.

• Extra QA steps:
  1.
  2.
  3.

• Screenshot if needed:

@cezaraugusto can you check this one out? Def seems like a regression

I've noticed that, to the left of the address bar, the circular arrow changes to an X, indicating that the browser is waiting for an HTTP response, but I agree that's not much of a visual indication of loading. I would also prefer a more obvious visual indication.
