I finally got around to implementing this. Works great! In terms of being a loader for
on browserDocumentLoadComplete pURL
if pURl is not empty then
send "hideloader" to me in 1 second
end if

One caveat: Old path problem. I can't get the browser to read a local image in this case. Tried full path
specialFolderPath("resources")
which yields this:
background-image
url( '/Users/brahmanathaswami/Documents/_Siva-Siva-App/assets/img/siva-darshan/who-is-siva_1200x800.jpg');
I tried a manual relative path
background-image
url( '../assets/img/siva-darshan/who-is-siva_1200x800.jpg');
against this folder layout
assets
img
siva-darshan
who-is-siva_1200x800.jpg
view
SivaSivaBrowser.livecode
It still doesn’t show?

The following works tested here on desktop, should work everywhere where the browser widget works.
1. Overlay browser widget "browser" with a browser widget "loader" (that displays a loading animation).
2. Load the slow loading url into widget "browser".
3. Hide widget "loader" by browserDocumentLoadComplete of widget "browser".
