When I first read the post, my reaction was: "Throbber? WTF is he
talking about?" So I opened up epiphany, watched my toolbar closely and
found out there's some spinnging icon on the right of the toolbar. AFAIK
this is the first time I noticed this thing was there. I'm using
epiphany since the first public release.
My choice would be to remove it: In all these years I haven't even seen
this thing, so why would I miss it in the future?
One reason to keep it: it doesn't make the toolbar bigger than it has to
be. If it would be a big logo that scales up the toolbar to make it fit,
it would have to go for sure. Since the throbber is scaled to fit the
toolbar size, it's not a big problem to have it there.
