Fix the white flash in new tabs or when clicking links

What is WhiteSlash - White background flash fix?

WhiteSlash - White background flash fix is a Chrome extension designed to remedy the brief white flash that appears when you open a new tab or click on a link.

Not the devs fault but this doesn't work well. I want no flashes. Please Chrome folks fix this problem quickly. This should be number one on their list. Other browsers have done it why not Chrome?

Doesn't work at all.

Would love for this to work, but after reinstalling it a few times, it still doesn't :(. I have Dark Reader. I restarted Chrome, my computer, even changed my theme and disabled all other extensions to no avail. Hope this works for others though! Any help or tips would be appreciated.
