A pace.js page load progress indicator on every page.
Pace4Chrome is a small extension for Chrome which injects pace.js (http://github.hubspot.com/pace/docs/welcome/) and a stylesheet into every page visited. This shows a progress bar (per default) on every page while it loads, complementing the default Chrome spinner, which by itself, is not very telling of the overall page load progress.
You can customise the way that pace.js acts and looks on websites using the options page on which you can pick from 16 presets and change their colors, or design your own loading indicators in the advanced editing mode, allowing you to modify the CSS code directly. If you're an advanced user and know regular expressions, you can also blacklist sites that do not interoperate well with pace.js. Pace will not be injected on these sites.
This extension does not collect analytics and will NEVER display or inject ads. The source code is available here: https://code.notro.uk/pace4chrome
---- Changelog ----
2016-09-18: (version 2.0)
- Updated the bundled pace.js.
- Presets have been updated to the latest versions, provided by pace.js.
- Restructured significant parts of the extension, added more comments.
New in version 2.0 is also a URL blacklisting feature for advanced users. The blacklist simply consists of a list of regular expressions, separated by linefeeds, ordered from most specific to least specific. Each visited website's URL is tested against these regular expressions. Pace4Chrome will not inject pace.js on any blacklisted URL. Example: ^https?:\/\/news\.ycombinator\.com.*$ -- This blacklists news.ycombinator.com. Invalid regular expressions are ignored.
Unfortunately I've had to break existing CSS settings in version 2.0, so you may be reverted to the defaults.
2014-05-17:
- Updated the bundled pace.js library to the latest minified version available on their repository (https://github.com/HubSpot/pace)
2014-02-16:
- Tiny release cleaning up the code just a bit & adding a license to the source files.
2014-02-15:

Не сохраняет настройки при переходе на другую вкладку сразу после выбора вида индикатора загрузки. Заметил, что эта функция перестала работать после очередного обновления браузера - поправьте, пожалуйста, если есть возможность...
freaking perfect. thank you very much.

When Choosing "Loading Bar", Settings will not save after relaunching chrome.
Me parece muy agradable a la vista
just brilliant! i really hope there will be a firefox version of this extension.
Does not work anymore?!
非常好用
满分,很喜欢
OMG... this is biggest awesome! Need more feature!
Customizability is the best aspect of this extension.
Great Extension in Chrome. Need some modification for better performance in future.
I love the feeling of control that it gives to the surfing experience.
excellent extension and the options on this small extension are great
Such a simple app but so brilliantly executed. It is hard to believe that most browsers don't have this page load indication active by default. JUST DOWNLOAD IT, and change the colour to something bright.
Brilliant, one of those simple tools you wouldn't think much of, but when you try it you realise just how useful it really is! Does exactly as it is supposed to! ^^
very useful app! before using the app, I sometimes had no idea if the page was finished loading.
可以起到一个状态栏进度条的功能，不过感觉用处不大，因为我网速太快了么？
This app is soo cool! I love the load bar, there are tons of options... its just amazing.
Nice extension. Is it possible to show this progress bar omni bar?
Перешел на хром с мозилы, нашел альтернативу всем используемым в лисице расширениям, только этого не хватало для полного счастья!Мелочь, но привыкаешь быстро к такой фиче)))
Wonderful extension - I wish I'd found it earlier! Great for those days when the Internet connection gets wonky. Using the "Big Counter" - besides changing the colour I was able to change the display font in the style sheet.
Great little addon, but i feel the loading bar shows up too late because it doesn't show up when i enter a new website, there's always a delay. Another thing is that the speed of the bar could be faster when the site is fully loaded if those things are fixed, i would gladly give 5 stars :)
Finally someone did the obvious, thanks. Only thing I wish for is some indication that you're waiting for the server to respond. During this period, you still don't get a visual cue, so you're not sure you've made a request. Maybe just a small bar to start with. Maybe with a few dots/dashes at end to show that it's waiting.
I really like how it emulates the mobile chrome loading bar
