Didn't they already do that? I remember receiving a spinner whenever I changed between tabs very often since they introduced that multi-process thing.

It seems to be something different than discarded tabs.

The spinner is not for discarded tabs. That's when the main window is trying to connect to a different back-end process than the one you were using for the previous tab.
