WhiteSlash: Chrome Extension for 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. The flash can be particularly discomforting to Dark Reader users who are used to a dark-themed browsing experience. The extension requires the latest version of Chrome and Dark Reader, and may in some cases necessitate the reinstallation of your Chrome theme.
