These extensions add a progress loading bar:

I tried both and they're not working. After performing a Google search,
I can't find any listings about problems with these extensions.

There is one post at the Google Product Forums about a stuck Gmail
progess bar:

Whatever the problem is with the two extensions listed above, I need
expert help.

 

Have you tried contacting the developers of each?

 

try removing one of the extensions. there might be a conflict since they do similar things

 

My home office Desktop was built by me. I can try any change to the
operating system in a virtual environment or run the entire system as
virtual. No changes are permanent until I'm certain everything is ok.

I installed the simple "progress-bar" first. Tried the usual quick fixes.
Close and open browser. Disable and enable extension.

After installing pace4chrome, I disabled progress-bar.

Never thought about contacting the extension developers. If they replied
to my query (very doubtful) the solution might require hours of debugging.

All browsers should have a progress loading bar. That spinning icon in
Chrome doesn't tell you much.
