How to change the hypnotic "ping-pong" dot on the tab of a slow-loading site?

I don't know who decided to make this ping-pong effect. It's a terrible idea. When I am waiting on slow sites (or sites that are timing out) it drives me nuts. It's worse than the stupid spinners everyone has decided are great. How can I turn it off or change it to something less irritating/hypnotic? The old static mac stopwatch would be fine. Enough blinking!
