MicrosoftDev channel update to 88.0.673.0 is live
josh_bodner When using dark theme once again entire tab flashes white on navigation or opening new tab. Really defeats the whole purpose of dark theme, the flashes are way worse than staring at white pages. Must be regression because it wasn't doing it for quite some time (current release version doesn't do it either).
Microsoftdstarkowski I suspect this is a side-effect of the work we've been doing to render new tabs faster, so just to confirm, do you see this on every new tab, or is it only some of the time?
josh_bodner Thanks for responding.
It happens every time I open new page (but not in InPrivate) and when I navigate with back, forward or opening favorites. It does not happen when I navigate via a link on a page.
Seems to me when navigating with normal links on pages the old page stays rendered on a screen. When navigating with any of above means, the "fresh" page appears and it's blank white until something is loaded and rendered.

dstarkowski Interesting that you can't get it to happen in InPrivate. I can, but I have to really work my machine hard since it seems to be worse when Edge is struggling, so I suspect that you can't just because the InPrivate new tab page is much easier to load than the non-InPrivate one. Our new tab page team is aware and looking into it, and also brought up that this may be related to the work we've done recently to merge our Office and News new tab pages, so I'm curious if you're signed into Edge with a work/school account or a personal one (or none).
