@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!
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.
