Doesn't work
by Jaiden Chaos, 2020-09-25

Not working as i hoped, when i close a tab i get like 0.1 sec white flash, so naah i got the same without, so no reason to have it :(

Thank you. Since it seems like Google will never attempt to allow a colour other than white for the background when changing page (given the length of time it's been open, it's obvious they don't care - but removing useful features is A-OK!), this extension works brilliantly for pages opened on the same tab. I guess that's why it's called Reduce Background Flicker :)
