This is a known bug in Google Chrome. The developers were notified long ago but no action has been taken. There are very less workaround for this.

  1. Change back to light mode and use 3rd party extensions to invert colours. Some are smart enough to not invert images.
  2. Use custom builds for chrome that were specifically made for this issue. Keep in mind that those are not updated. Github Repo Link

  3. You can open links in new tab without losing focus on current tab. This way, when the new page is loaded completely, you can change the tab without any white flash.

  4. Move on to firefox :). Good Luck! If you find a better workaround, please notify me.
