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?"
https://windowsreport.com/chrome-white-screen/#:~:text=Some users have confirmed that,in the snapshot directly below.

go to:
opera://settings/?search=hardware

@cratte Disabling hardware acceleration may have consequences worse than the white flashing, I guess.

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.

Don't yell at us! This is a user forum, it is unlikely the developers will even see your post here.

@Veygard It's official Opera page but it's mainly a place for users to try to help each other.

@dada5k Nope, I'm still having the problem as well. The developers should have fixed this by now.

Well, I really love the project and the concept, but this whole white flashbang I get every single time I open a tab or website is too much... How is it that the devs do not browse the forums? Does PewDiePie need to say something for them to listen...?
