Has there been any solution for this? No other browser has this issue. Google Chrome, Brave, Edge Chromium, Firefox, all have found some workaround to this. @Pebbles1980 did you find a solution? This is very very annoying and genuinely hurting eyesight when working late into the night.

I found multiple posts on Opera forums regarding the white screen flashbang occurrence while loading URLs. There has been no response from the Developers ins pite of the high number of posts. Does somebody know if they are working on it or not?
Does anyone know if there is a workaround to fix this issue please?

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

@mppfiles Truly expected at this point. No wonder so many people jumped ship to Vivaldi.

@andrew84 I have tested Chrome, Edge, and Vivaldi. Even if chromium has this problem, every single chromium browser has managed to fix it for their respective audience, except Opera. Now I hear they don't even read the forums. No wonder nothing gets fixed.

@gchavez i have completely given up on this problems and devs in general. If it's really a chromium issue, how is it that other browsers don't have this problem?
I switched to edge months ago, and let me tell you it's far better. No annoying major bugs, instant response to complaints. This issue has been open for so long, no response from devs yet and no fixes. What else is there to do?

It's been 2 months man.

No reply? Someone say something at least. Mods? Devs?

@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.

@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.

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

@andrew84 These 2 are very different actually. 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 issues. My theme from the web store already has an inbuilt wallpaper, and I don't see any such flash.

@andrew84 I did try that today, and I never saw this issue with any of them. Although they were in dark mode. I don't see any logical reason why I would use light themes and ask for dark transitions.
Having that choice is good, but I don't think that should be the first priority for dark transitions, that is to make it compatible with light themes.
