White screen 'flashbang' when opening pages

Hopefully they'll do something about it.
What if they have it white if your browser is light theme and a black screen if in dark theme.

@benclendon I have my browser on dark theme and I use the dark reader extension as well to make my webpages dark. This is not a theme, more of a rendering issue it seems, because no other browser that I have used has this problem. Inspite of using the chromium engine.

It certainly would be good to get a reply from a dev, atleast indicating its a error, and someone is working on it?
Even opening this thread results in having to look away for a few seconds while its loading. The Irony.

@Pebbles1980 There are several attempts of fixing it in the latest versions.

@leocg Currently on the Opera Beta version just to see this fix as early as possible. Would have been great if there was an ETA, but atleast it's being worked on.

@leocg just a minor question, is this fix going to be available for Opera GX as well or that will be implemented much later?

@jenabaivab GX probably already has some of the fix attempts.

@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.
