Thanks again for flagging this — and for including the video. I just tested it myself on an M-series Mac running the latest OS and using Firefox, and I’m seeing the same thing on my end. So it definitely looks like something worth digging into further.
If you’re up for it, could you let me know what browser and machine you were using when you noticed it? I know you mentioned seeing it across multiple devices, which is super helpful — any extra detail just helps us confirm how widespread it is across systems.
Appreciate you taking the time to report this.

***Update: The dev team is aware of the issue and are working on a fix. Thank you again!***

I have another update.
The development team took a look and here's what they found: What you noticed is tied to the page loading indicator—it’s working as intended, but we agree it can feel a bit odd on fast desktop connections. On slower connections or when using iFixit as a Progressive Web App (PWA), that loader bar is much more noticeable and helps signal that a page is loading.
So while it might seem inconsistent at times, it’s actually doing its job in the background—especially in mobile or low-speed environments.
That said, your report helped spark a thoughtful discussion with the team, and they’re keeping this in mind as we continue improving the experience.
Really appreciate you taking the time to flag this—it’s a big help!
