 In typical desktops, the statusbar of a browser tells the steps of loading
 a website (connecting to google.com, transfering from google.com, etc.).
 Browse's progress bar doesn't specify these steps. Knowing these steps are
 usefull in diagnosticating web problems.

 Thinking crazy, one place where that information could be gathered would
 be as a secondary palette of the Stop button. The Stop button only appears
 when the website is still loading, and so looking at its secondary palette
 could be seen as a way to "peek" into the process.
