I can confirm the white flashes as well. The force-dark flag did help with the flashes opening a new tab, but it still happens sometimes. Always a white flash like in the pictures above, when launching Edge Canary. Also occasionally I get white flashes after I open multiple tabs in the background and close the tab I am viewing. Sometimes its is all the tabs already opened. Sometimes it is only 1 or 2 of them. Opening a New InPrivate window will give you the white flash as well.
