How can I make chrome's white flash when a new tab is opened be black?
Whenever I open a new tab, which is very often, there's a white flash. This is a blinding to my eyes since I often use my computer with dark backgrounds and in low brightness. Is there a way I can change this to a black flash?
There are similar questions here
- Prevent white screen before loading page in chromium?
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16243105/google-chrome-override-white-blank-page-between-webpage-loads
But the solutions don't work for opening new tabs.

It's extremely unhealthy for your eyes to have a bright upclose setting infront of you and a dark setting all around you. Fix the root of the problem, and keep your work environment lit.

I don't have a bright screen in front of me. Most of the websites I browse aren't completely white, the programs I use aren't bright, I use low brightness on all of my devices, and I use f.lux.

I looked around for a solution, suggestions seems to vary but my guess is that this white background is hardcoded into chrome, it'll always appear before calling the theme or extention data. I guess we can't change this without finding a way to hack chrome source code and that's very bad. Dark themes and some other extensions will style the new tab dark but it'll always flash white for a sec.

What about inverting all computer colors while using chrome? On Windows, you can start the screen magnifier and then press Ctrl-Alt-i to invert the colors. Look here.

Thanks! From that link: update (march 15, 2017): the white flash bug (issue 470669) has been marked fixed.. FYI this bug will be fixed in the stable channel with Chrome 59, which will be released in about 12 weeks. In the meantime you will be able to see it in Canary within a day, or Dev within a week.

It's extremely unhealthy for your eyes to have a bright upclose setting infront of you and a dark setting all around you. Fix the root of the problem, and keep your work environment lit.

I don't have a bright screen in front of me. Most of the websites I browse aren't completely white, the programs I use aren't bright, I use low brightness on all of my devices, and I use f.lux.

I looked around for a solution, suggestions seems to vary but my guess is that this white background is hardcoded into chrome, it'll always appear before calling the theme or extention data. I guess we can't change this without finding a way to hack chrome source code and that's very bad. Dark themes and some other extensions will style the new tab dark but it'll always flash white for a sec.

What about inverting all computer colors while using chrome? On Windows, you can start the screen magnifier and then press Ctrl-Alt-i to invert the colors. Look here.

Anyone found a solution to this issue? User Styles does not work for this particular issue.
