>From the bottom up -

You cannot manipulate anything in the status bubble (status bar) of Chrome.

You can find out the state of the page through regular JavaScript
(document.readyState or through an event document.onreadystatechange in case
it works in non XMLHttpRequest types).

I believe it might be possible, in an indirect way. You can create a browser
action, which sends a message to content scripts. In the content script, you
can manipulate the DOM of that page and add frames or whatever and also add
an event listener for the onreadystatechange (if possible). When the
readyState value is 4, you can manipulate the frame you added.
Though, this can be problematic, because you are actually trying to load a
chrome-extension:// page inside a regular web page. Even if it works, I
think you are losing all of the Chrome Extension APIs, but you can maybe
work around it by sending a message from there as well.
