Fix the white flash in new tabs or when clicking links
WhiteSlash is a fix for the white flash in chrome that is shown whenever a link is clicked or a new tab is opened before the page fully loads. Protect your eyes and use this extension combined with Dark Reader.
REQUIRES NEWEST VERSION OF CHROME & DARK READER EXTENSION
Click settings -> About -> check for updates to ensure Chrome is fully updated.
Get Dark Reader at the link below:

**In some cases, you may need to remove and reinstall your Chrome theme to make it work 100%
Tested on both Windows and Mac. I will keep this extension updated if any issues arise during future Chrome updates.

- (2023-09-12) Cal McLain: It actually works exactly like I hoped it would! It does need Dark Reader (which is clearly stated in the description) but I use that anyway.
- (2023-07-28) Patrik Johansson (ExileFox): No longer working.

- (2022-08-29) Илья Владимирович: I doesn't work
- (2022-08-18) Shelby: Requires the "Dark Reader" extension...but I think that extension just does this now? So this extension appears to be superfluous.
- (2022-08-09) Robak Rapieć: Work's great. But can you please remove console.logs in inject.js script? I'm a developer and it's very annoying.
- (2022-05-16) Nicole M.: Doesn't work, not even combined with Dark Reader.
- (2022-03-23) Speed Demon: Doesn't work.....
- (2022-02-21) Sebastian Rak: Seems like in Vivaldi browser it doesn't work when loading page first time but after that it works everytime until you close the browser.
- (2022-02-04) Almadorus ASMR: Please fix this, it could be really useful feature
- (2021-12-13) Umbra Walker: Actually worked for me in combination with the requirements as stated in your description. Thank you!

- (2021-07-21) Luka Labudović: Doesn't really work all the time.
- (2021-07-10) username991: Doesn't work at all
- (2021-07-08) Quest Yarbrough: DON'T USE THIS. I found this extension automatically redirecting my google queries to Chrome. This extension is compromised -- not sure if author knows or is complicit, but I don't recommend trusting it.
- (2021-06-26) Joey Crowley: NEW REVIEW: Never works. Not functional. I have chrome://flags dark mode enabled as well and it is destroying my eyeballs with the white flash. OLD REVIEW: It did work and I loved it. It stopped working but I am keeping a high rating because I want the devs to know that I love them and I appreciate that they are trying. Please continue working on this and please fix it. I am happy to supply specific info if you'd like. Good day!
- (2021-04-16) Marius Jacobsz: Can you please update this extension for 2021?
- (2021-04-13) Ravi Sieun: I do not think these extensions are helping, especially with dark reader. There are so many versions from the same people that make this same app. I dont know if switching to a different browser is better but there are probably more genuine apps that can get rid of this and provide the same customization to alleviate the bright screen and contrasts for your eyes.
- (2020-12-20) Cory Roberts: Doesn't do anything.
- (2020-10-03) Stuart Robinson: doesn't work
- (2020-08-28) Max Anderson: Doesn't work. Period.
- (2020-08-05) Thomas Walker Lynch: Still get white flashes, but not as often. This problem has now been dragging on and on for years. Chrome seems to be hellbent on damaging people's eyes.
- (2020-07-31) Steven Loh: Useless, doesnt work
- (2020-07-20) Norman: very unstable and unreliable, would occasionally still showing flash
- (2020-04-08) Kaustubh J: Seems to allow a "micro" flash wheSeems to allow a "micro" flash when I go to a new tab. Certainly better then without this extension.n I go to a new tab. Certainly better then without this extension.
- (2020-03-26) Rubens Lopes: It worked! It did not work at first, but that was because I was using a photograph from the standard Chrome library as a background for new tabs. When I set to "no background", I stopped seeing the flashes.
- (2019-11-10) William Lubelski: Haven't found anything else that even remotely works besides this. As the description mentioned, it didn't work until I set a theme (but then I just set it back to default)
- (2019-06-26) Lisa N: 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?
- (2019-05-05) Krzysztof Maliszewski: Doesn't work
- (2018-11-15) Ageng Nugroho: nope, doesnt work mostly.
- (2018-06-09) Paul Kra: Does not work with Dark Reader and a Dark Theme installed. Tried reinstalling the theme. Still get white flashing screens when loading a new site.
- (2018-06-05) Bora: Doesn't work at all.
- (2018-04-09) Gene Strickland: Does not work for me, still get the white flash between sites/new tabs. I am using Dark Reader extension.
- (2018-03-26) BlackBirds93: Doesn't work, really wish it did
- (2018-03-03) Tito Carreno: this needs you to install dark reader, which I don't want to. Just want to stop the flashing, that's what I want. False advertising.
- (2018-02-07) Jennilyn Weber: 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.
- (2017-12-24) Médi El: Great
- (2017-11-01) Brian Gleason: Mostly works. Seems to allow a "micro" flash when I go to a new tab. Certainly better then without this extension.
- (2017-10-05) Dhruv Shikhar: Amazing app, works so well for me !
- (2017-09-28) senselocke: It's not working. Holy crud, I wish it was, but it's not. Dark Reader installed, reset theme, updated Chrome... still a white flash on every new tab/window
- (2017-06-09) Tim Titus: Fixes the white flash when loading pages. Be sure you have the DarkReader extension installed as well as it won't work until you do that! Cheers!!
- (2017-05-14) Chris Co: Doesn't work at all. Still get a micro white flash on new tab, and a big white flash if I click a link which opens a new tab in the foreground (like google news). Latest Chrome (58), fresh install, tested with Dark Reader and no other addon.
- (2017-05-07) Tom: Ok, so installing Dark reader fixes the issue and the extension works. But now dark reader inverts every website I visit.
