Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debloper/xiosk/issues/148

I'm having an issue where some webpages loaded just flash black and white, instead of showing. The desktop isn't flashing, and anything other than the website(s) that are affected are fine.
Nearly every time https://player.ablesign.tv/ does the flashing thing, though I've seen other video player sites, like Youtube, do it from time to time as well.

Running the latest version on a Raspberry Pi 4.

Changing the Duration or Cycles has no effect on if it flashes, and sometimes whatever loads after the site will be... strangely discolored?

An update: I figured out the issue and added --use-gl=egl to the Chromium launch in runner.sh to change it's graphics API.
