I recommend you guys another browser.
Take a look at Vivaldi. It doesn't have white flash screens.

@st4zik I propose the flashbang feature be expanded so each occurrence is random sequence of 0-3 flashbangs with random millisecond durations. This will better satisfy the uptight policy-driven 9-5 devs' conforming around cubicles and whiteboards saturated in bright white overhead light by properly punishing anyone using a pc in a darkened room. Subversive witchcraft must not be tolerated. Moreover, why squander such a perfect opportunity? While I am blind conscious only of white noise send over some agents to knock me aside and deprive me of ill-deserved privacy and ill-begotten property.

I understand the white flash can happen in a variety of situations. But for me, the worst and most frequent is when I click a link that automatically opens in a new tab. The new tab almost always starts white before going dark.
The Force Background Tab Chrome extension solved that situation for me. With this extension, a new tab opens, but Opera doesn't immediately switch to it. I have to click over to it, and by the time I do that, the tab has started rendering in dark mode. The white flash has presumably happened, but I never had to see it.
So for me, Dark Reader + Force Background Tab = much happier eyes.

@iamamemer Hey, I'm so glad I was able to help! Thanks to you and others for the lengthy discussion on this topic. That really helped me understand what had been tried already so I didn't duplicate other attempts. I won't pretend that the Force Background Tab extension solves every situation, but having run it all day now, it definitely makes things a whole lot better for me.
Thanks for following up!

Hi everybody,
After a lot of digging, I have found a solution that works for me:
1.- Go to opera://flags/ and turn on 'Force Dark Mode for Web Contents' to Enabled
This fixes most of the issue (e.g. about:blank becomes dark and most of the flashbangs disappear). In my case, there is still some brief white screen (of shorter duration than the default and much less annoying).
Enjoy!
PS: If someone wants to keep digging for a complete 100% solution, this might be a good path to go down to and experiment with:
2.- Installing the Stylus extension and following the steps of this stackexchange answer, which in short are:
a.- Click on the styles icon > Manage > 'Write new style'
b.- paste something like this (won't solve the issue, just an example):@-moz-document url-prefix(about:blank) {*{background-color:#000000;}}
c.- click on 'overwrite style'
d.- give it a name on the upper left > save
e.- restart the browser just in casePlease report back if you do find the ultimate solution, otherwise I'll be switching over to FF for my late night browsing (which is a pity cause it loads sites slower than opera)
