A skeleton screen is not interactive though. You cannot do anything except watching it pulse or whatever. Keep in mind that the content here is the shell itself.

I also already know something is happening. That’s what the busy cursor is for.



That does make it like a splash screen of old. With extra teasing. I understand the annoyance.

It seems as if only Firefox on Windows has these skeleton screens and so couldn't try for myself. I assumed that much of the shell like search bar, close button, and the menu would be ready.
