Hey guys, thanks for all the work you do on Brave.

I know this is not a very high-priority issue but it’s incredibly annoying - I think its not just limited to the new tab page. I use the Stylus extension to apply custom dark themes to websites and this bright white flash right before a dark theme is applied makes for really poor UX.

Maybe the browser can default to a dark color background if the dark theme is enabled in settings?
