Brave has full screen white content flashes on various actions. Most obvious is opening a new window. This is a health issue for those of us sensitive to light flashes. Chromium browsers, include Chrome itself, always struggle with this. Vivaldi has solved it, but Vivaldi is slow and closed source. I’d like to switch to Brave but this must be addressed.

New users can’t upload. Oh boy. Well here is a youtube video:

Above template refers to opening a new window, but note this flash occurs in additional situations:

  • Re-opening a previously closed tab
  • Tab switching to a hibernated tab (a tab that has not been viewed in some time and left memory)
