Ok, my apologies, we have some crossed-wires on the words "capture indicator".

I was referring to, in Chromium 87, the red circle which appears on the tab during capture. Firefox has its analogue of a microphone icon to the left of the URL bar. Both disappear when capture completes.

You are referring to the grey camera icon inset in the URL bar, which appears at some point and, in Chromium 87 at least, persists.

I'll assume your definition is the agreed one (I guess I'll just say "red blob" for the other).  But perhaps it's now clearer why I would be so assertive about this indicator. I'm out of time for today, there are further points I think should be made but that will have to be later.
