Status indicator
This field serves two purposes.
First, when browsing through a page, it shows the URL "behind" the link currently pointed to with the mouse. That is, when you click this URL will be retrieved.
Second, when a page is being loaded for this window, is shows the current
state. If actual data is retrieved, a progress bar will appear showing
how far the load process is. The progress bar will not appear if the
final size of the document is not known on forehand.
Background status indicator
When one or more load operations are in progress, this indicator will show
a little square. On every connection made, and on every block retrieved,
the square will advance one step.
This indicator lets you know if there are still things loading in the
background, and how rapidly they progress. If you want more detail,
the network status window will tell you everything.
