Bright white flash when opening Chromium Edge
Hi there, welcome to the Microsoft Tech Community.
This happens because when you open the browser, the browser starts loading itself whatever it needs so a white screen appears before it starts loading a page, for you, it is a flash because your hardware specs are very good to run all those things fast in a fraction of a second.

Well it would be nice if they can find a way to have it flash black because when I get the new ASUS 32 inch Swift monitor (coming out later this year) it will be a flash of light that is almost as bight as the sun...lol. It could possibly put someone in to an epileptic seizure.

A splash screen just like the legacy Edge had, would be very helpful in this.
Deleted MissyQ can we please consider this? This is very needed feature

Rohit Yadav Hi, I concur that it happens on a new tab or window. I have a fast machine also, it’s use is for music production mainly and when loading Ableton Live 11 the screen will flash white after waiting for the screen to load. In my experience this only happens when the machine uses large amounts of cpu to load software. Other programs like Fl Studio 20 don’t have this issue. Maybe a load time script could be injected into the code to blacken the screen rather than whiten under these pretense's. It’s very traumatizing to the eyes even in the day time. Thank you for taking a look at the communities suggestions.
