Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/1213

Describe the bug

When archiving any site just using a minimal set of extractors like --extract title,favicon,readability, the favicon is never visible in the index, and the spinner.gif is shown instead.
By adding another extractor to the list, like pdf for example, the favicon is visible again, as shown below.

Steps to reproduce

archivebox add --extract title,favicon,readability https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/16/health/abortion-pill-ruling.html

Favicon & title alone are not considered enough for the snapshot to be "archived", which is why it shows the in-progress spinner. We could add readability to the set of things it considers enough for it to qualify as "archived" though.

I'm fine with your suggestion as it works out in my case but in general wouldn't it make more sense to show the spinner just as long as the archiving process takes, no matter what extractors are used?
