"I've been on the lookout for Chrome apps that can help make my screen darker or inverted to reduce eye strain. While I have found some apps that do the job, there's one thing they don't seem to be able to override - the White Blank page.
Whenever a new page is loading in Chrome, it first shows this bright white blank page before displaying the actual content of the website. Is there any way to change this default white page to black? It's quite jarring as every time I click on a link or open a new webpage, the screen transitions from a dark background (thanks to the app) to the white blank page and then back to a dark screen when the content loads. This sudden burst of white light is causing me more eye strain than relief. That's why I'm wondering if there's a solution to make that white page appear black instead."
This issue has been brought up before, but the suggested solutions didn't work with my current version of Chrome 49.0.2623.87 m.

I tried creating two files, manifest.json and script.js, in AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\ and loading them as an unpacked extension, but even that didn't solve the issue.
