You can use Shift+Escape for that
Shift + Esc doesn't seem work for me (Chrome 53 dev), and there are a few open bugs about the shortcut not working. Opening Task Manager from the menus works fine though :)
This should be trivial to catch with CI tests...wonder what went wrong there.

Though he does go on to say:

On that point, I don't agree, since it would give the misleading appearance—at least to me—that the page wasn't even done with its initial rendering. But perhaps he is suggesting the standard loading icon should switch to a sort of unobtrusive network in/out indicator after the initial rendering. That I would like.
This looks really interesting, is there a reason why it hasn't been uploaded to the Chrome Store? It would be much easier to install and keep updated.
Author here. I think it involves some payment (IIRC) or some other stupid barrier. If someone is kind enough to take care of that for me, I'd be happy to publish it. I have a couple other extensions which I'd like to publish as well but wasn't able to do so in the past, so I have just stopped trying.

It is the user's own computer and the user's own network subscription after all. User pays for these resources.
As for the software, users get to choose the software. They might prefer software that does not use so much bandwidth. And there's nothing wrong with that.

There's also nothing wrong with wanting to know about it. So I applaud the creation of this extension.

yes, that was what I implied, which is why I wrapped "\"loading icon\"" in quotes :) I agree though that the wording isn't very clear, my bad!

Yes. Mini-tuto to install by hand: 1. Download zip - https://github.com/awalGarg/netmonitor/archive/master.zip 2. Unzip it 3. Go to chrome extension page (or type `chrome://chrome/extensions/` in the URL bar) 4. Drag and drop the folder `netmonitor` on the page
