Switching between dark pages on Chrome can sometimes lead to a blinding flash of white. This extension tries to preserve background color between page loads, if possible. For the real Lords of Darkness out there, setting a custom user stylesheet to your preferred color (https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1373#c261) will probably be more effective than this extension. The same trick applies to Firefox. Icon created by Anand A Nair from the Noun Project, CC.

Doesn't work
Not working as i hoped, when i close a tab i get like 0.1 sec white flash, so naah i got the same without, so no reason to have it :(
Thank you. Since it seems like Google will never attempt to allow a colour other than white for the background when changing page (given the length of time it's been open, it's obvious they don't care - but removing useful features is A-OK!), this extension works brilliantly for pages opened on the same tab. I guess that's why it's called Reduce Background Flicker :)
