edge still flashing white screen and force dark theme visibility problem
I'm currently using Edge-Chromium Version 84.0.522.63 (Official build) (64-bit)
there are old article about flashing white screen https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/flashing-a-white-screen-while-open-new-tab/m-p/894858#M13205
however, still flashing white screen when open new window of microsoft edge. here's comparison about microsoft edge and vivaldi browser.
Warning: DO NOT OPEN SPOILER IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO LIGHT.
Microsoft Edge (chromium) vs. Vivaldi
Open New Window
Edge (flashing white screen)
Vivaldi
Separate Tab
Edge (flashing White Screen)
Vivaldi
Force-Dark-Mode Visibility Problem
Contents of the settings page that are difficult to see
Before(Force-Dark-Mode Disabled):
After(Force-Dark-Mode Enabled):
Please fix these problems.
1. flashing white screen when open new window.
2. flashing white screen when separate tab.
3. visibility problem when enabled force-dark-mode.
white flashing and visibility problem is also present in google chrome and other chromium based browsers. (except vivaldi)

Whoever's fastest, lightest weight, has best mem mgmt & addon support wins. Lately that's been Edge, but if I don't find a fix soon for this flashing sh* Vivaldi's becoming my daily. It's not been as snappy as Edge (for me) but I trust they're working on it, and I love its technerd vibe and customizability.

I found a solution to this. You just open the page in new tab and wait until the page loads before you click on it while making sure dark mode is on using dark reader extension or inbuild feature in settings.

Hi there, you are welcome to the Microsoft Edge Insider Community Hub!
I and many other users also want this feature so I would also recommend you to send this whole suggestion through the in-app feedback tool (Alt+Shift+I) in Microsoft Edge to give this feature a +1 to make it a part of Microsoft Edge in the future.
Other users who like this suggestion may also do the same.
