@leocg Meaning the white flashes while opening web pages is still present, and the Shared Start Page flag is missing. Basically a dead end.

@jenabaivab said in White screen 'flashbang' when opening pages:
the one on Edge is due to the ntp.msn.com start page. If you remove that from start, you can easily avoid the flash.
With chrome, the wallpaper causes issuesIndeed, that's why 'shared start page' was implemented in Opera(you can set any wallpaper and no flashes occur when creating tabs).
Correct engine's work is when no flashes occur, doesn't matter with or without wallpaper, it works in FireFox this way and it worked in Opera too some time ago without any flags, until some changes in Chromium.

@andrew84 Probably, but at least there is a way in other browsers to fix it now. If it was introduced as a fix, I think the flag could have stayed for a bit longer, can't use beta now because of that. BTW, the flag causes an increase in startup time of the browser too. I thought my system was fried, but I googled a little, and I saw an article asking people to disable that flag for a much much quicker startup. It's like pick your poison.

@jenabaivab It seems to me that shared start page is for when you open a new tab. And it seems to be working based on what I've read here.

@leocg it's also working for avoiding white flashes when opening any new webpage from a new tab page. Be it via speed dial or address. This was the primary concern of this thread actually, and this flag, unknowingly so, fixed that. But now it's deprecated in v71.

@jenabaivab So the flashing issue is fixed? If so, then the feature does what it is supposed to do.
By the way, I still see it flashing happening sometimes when opening a new page, specially on a new tab.

@leocg I guess he means that disabling the flag fixed the issue, but I don't known how it's possible that the disabled flag (the flag itself was implemented to fix the issue, by the way) fixed the issue
In my case I don't see any difference how tiles do open, there's a flash anyway with or without the flag, but with the disabled flag there are extra flashes (colorful) when creating new tabs and closing last tab. With disabled flag Opera is unusable for me. -

The flashes in opera occur not just when opening a new tab, but when opening a new website as well.

hi.
I surf in dark mode by night.
But always i call a new site in a new tab the page gets glary white a short time - and i get blinded...
This happens only on new tabs which are darkened by the startpage.
How can i tell Opera to get black all time?
thx -

hi.
Perhaps a solution here, because Opera is using the Blink engine from Google's Chrome browser.Chrome Browser: Turn hardware acceleration OFF?
"Chrome launches with the white screen?"

In the latest Beta and Dev they applied a 'fix' (DNA-88299 White flashes when opening bookmark on startpage) that removes the white flashbangs.
But Instead of the white flashbang I have colorful one now (color depends on currently active wallpaper). I can't call it as 'fix', a colored flash is even worse.

Just wanted to note - I had the same white flashes, when a new page loaded. But, then I opened "about:blank" page, then that page changed color to dark, and now opening new pages there are no more white flashes.
