Serious Discussion Microsoft Edge Stable (Chromium) Now Available for Download

[silversurfer]

This is unacceptable and annoying to the point that I won't use Edge till they fix this. These sudden white flashes are hurting my eyes.
Many other users have also reported this. I even have the force dark mode flag enabled.

Do you know this "issue" happens even on other chromium-based browsers like Brave, Opera or on Google Chrome ?

Yeah, I tried Chrome. No such problem there.

Microsoft fixes Microsoft Edge 91 nag screens and startup page bug:

Microsoft has pushed out a fix for the Microsoft Edge 91 startup bugs and nag screens plaguing users since the new version of the browser was released.

Last week, Microsoft Edge 91 was released, and users immediately began reporting that the browser was not opening to their configured startup page, and a 'Use recommended browser settings' nag screen being shown too often.

Soon after we reported on these bugs, Microsoft pushed out what appears to be a configuration change, and users are now saying [1, 2] that the bugs are fixed after restarting the browser.

When Microsoft Edge launches, it will connect to Microsoft servers and download a configuration file specific to your device.

This configuration file contains various directives regarding what features are enabled, what experiments you are enrolled in, and other settings.

As we were affected by the bugs in the release of Microsoft Edge 91, we were able to test the new configuration changes, and the issues have been fixed on our end.

While it is not clear what Microsoft changed to fix these issues, you can now close the browser and restart it again for the fix to go into effect.

And it happen without dark mode enforcement too?

 

[SeriousHoax]

And it happen without dark mode enforcement too?

Yeah, even without. I think it started after the 91 update. I don't remember seeing this before that.

Did you try graphic driver update?
Or clean Edge profile

The first one is not related I think.
But I have thought of trying the second one. Will do.

 

[ForgottenSeer 85179]

Maybe. If Edge change something in hardware acceleration and your driver have some problems in that area, it can indeed produce such issues.

Thanks for confirming that it's not just me. Hopefully, the Edge team knows about it and planning for a fix ASAP. Send feedback if you can and possibly attach the video as well.

I have problems with Edge and Edge Beta playing Amazon videos when hardware acceleration in enabled. Videos skip and go blank. This does not occur with Edge Dev or Canary.

 

[ForgottenSeer 85179]

Empty newtab is solved for me.
Nagging too but i still have the flags enabled. Will test without
