From time to time (like, the 1 % of all the web pages I visit) the "loading" indicator never stops spinning, even after all HTTP requests have finished. That continues happening even after hitting the "stop" button. I can reload the page as many times as I like and the indicator will not stop, but if I load the page in another tab, it works as it should.
I'm pretty certain it's because of an extension, but I have dozens of them and, since that occurs very rarely, selectively disabling extensions is not a practical solution for me.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Edit: The kind of answer that I expect probably involves using the DevTools.

I've seen this before in Firefox, so I don't think it is browser specific. I would attribute it to a page that has an embedded iframe that is performing some action, likely displaying an advertisement.
I find that disabling Ghostery/AdBlock Plus tends to resolve weird page loading issues I run into, so if you have either extension installed and reasonably trust the site you are looking at, I would recommend disabling them for a few minutes and seeing if that resolves the problem.
Hopefully that can get you on the right track. Good Luck!
