I assume nautilus still keeps trying to load the page even while the
alert is displayed?  If so, an alert doesn't really feel like the right
thing to me here, I'd expect something more like an indeterminate
progress indicator[1]:

And if it doesn't keep trying to load the page, why not? :)

Cheeri,
Calum.
