Hi,
In the early days of Netscape 3, I remember being able to "stop" a web
page completely, as in no more HTTP requests, no more looping scripts
and no more frames of animation.
Many sites constantly generate new HTTP requests bombarding the user
with adverts, div based pop-ups, annoying sounds, videos, animation etc.
We need the stop button to actually STOP everything.
Most non-technical web users won't know (or care) what a stop button is,
so they won't care if it's changed.
In the current SM, the stop button does not seem to work.
Here's an example of a web site where you can test the issue. Let it run
for over a minute, and look at the status bar, the mouse pointer, and
the stop button itself (flashing).
