@leocg I used GX yesterday, and it wasn't fixed. It was the updated version as well.

@leocg How do you know? I only read that they attempt to add dark theme to web content.
Anyway, it's more than weird they adding the dark theme to web content without fixing the white flashbangs first. Dark UI + dark web pages + white full screen flashbangs.

@jenabaivab Because there don't seem to be a definitive fix yet, just attempts.

I too have this problem. It's so annoying and painful especially at night.
Everything was great in 67 version but after 67 version (68, 69, 70, 71 versions) something was broken. After all this time there's no fix. Seems it's time to another browser hopping. -

@zerescas Same. Can't work anymore with so many flashes. And it's the brightest shade too. Resorting to Edge Chromium now till a fix arrives at least.

I've been using Opera along with Dark reader extension for complete dark mode. But everytime opera loads a page there is a brief flash of pure white page before the page loads and it is very blinding and frustrating to see every time I click on a link.
It does not happen in any of the other browsers that I use. Is there any fix for this? As I've noticed many other users complaining about the same issue.

Tried the new developer update today. Still no fix. I don't understand anymore.

Wow, its been months and till now the devs don't even seem to acknowledge the issue.

@daniel9895 I'm starting to think they don't consider it an issue anymore, otherwise there is no way development team as reputed as Opera doesn't even acknowledge widespread bugs, let alone fix them fast like any dev team would do.

@athlonite I don't know whether I have the same issue, but quite often a webpage in Opera opens to stay completely white. When I copy the address to Firefox, it opens quickly with no issues. I do, however, often have many tabs open, (about twenty), vs. max. 5 in Firefox, but his generally was fine. New PC here, i7, 16GB, so no low end, and VDSL, not slow. The result is I keep Firefox (generally only used for very specific tasks) now open all the time as backup, using it more and more.

@jenabaivab Maybe if we all could tweet about the issue instead that might get it better attention than in this forums.

@zauberfritz Yeah I don't seem to think it's just an Opera problem I think it is an Chromium issue as it also has the same white page flash in Vivaldi aswell and I've had it happen in Edge chromium aswell

- The flag is removed in 71 version
- The flag was implemented to avoid flashes (the flash's color depends on currently active wallpaper) while creating new tabs.
*Here (Win 8x64) there's a flash anyway even with the disabled flag while opening start page's tiles (just in dark theme the flash is dark).

@andrew84 Same, the white flashes are still present, disabling the flag didn't help either. I still don't understand why Opera isn't trying to do anything about this, No replies from mods or developers either.

@jenabaivab They are, and that flag was an attempt, but things don't seem to have been working.

@leocg As mentioned above, the flag doesn't work for me, but it works on my father's laptop. Why did it get removed in v71 ?
