flashing a white screen while open new tab
[ Spoiler ] just used spoiler tag for protect eye. do not click spoiler tag if you're in dark. I'm using microsoft edge insider beta. white flashing shows up while open new tab. It's pretty b...
Hi,
It's nice to know that feature is rolled to the Beta as well, that means it is no longer a controlled roll out feature!
Yes it's happening to Canary and Dev too, I can easily reproduce it by going to my new tab and refresh the page multiple times.
I think at the first millisecond, it loads the white theme New tab page and then it realizes, Oh user is having dark theme enabled, then it loads the dark background version instead.
of course all of these happen in matter of milliseconds or microseconds that's why the end user sees only a flash.I think the solution would be for the Dev team to prevent Edge from assuming that the default theme is white for everyone, Edge can drop that assumption when the user changes the browser theme in edge://settings/appearance .

HotCakeX thanks. and more white flashing part. do not click spoiler if you're in dark.
1. open edge
2. separate tab
3. open settings
also, these problems are not fixed in google chrome. hope edge chromium fix these terrible eye strain problem.
additional request. `about:blank` page background color to dark for prevent white flashing while page loading.
like this
- Still the same,Microsoft don't care of the users ,so goodbye edge.
- Yeah that's not good at all, Google may don't care about their users because they have millions of users already and losing a portion of them won't hurt them in the short run.
but Microsoft needs to fix all these problems and faults of the Google, to make a better browser and this white flash is definitely one of them- but fingers crossed if Microsoft does fix this, they'll push it to Chromium too for everyone to enjoy 🙂
