Page flickering after "Page-Back"

AndiLeni

Hello,

I encountered this issue today while I tried Vivaldi on Android 10.

This issue is more about an optical problem

If I make a search on Google and scroll down a little bit (this is important), visit a search result and then go back to the previous page I get a really nasty page flickering each time.
It seems like the page gets completely rerendered and therefore starts to flicker.

This issue does not exist in chrome or firefox.

Hi, I cant verify on Android 11 with latest stable Vivaldi.
I test also dark mode and dark mode with dark pages but no flickering.

Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite
Android 11
Vivaldi Android 4.1

Cheers, mib
P.S. I test with my old Umidigi One on Android 8.1, no flickering.

See here: https://postimg.cc/0zLff5XC

The Google page gets rerendered after coming back from Wikipedia.
This results in a layout shift.
Other browsers do not seem to rerender the page.

Hi, I see you have adds at the top of the page, I don´t have them even with disabled add blocker, if images in the page they reload but without flicker.
Which software you are use to get the gif screen cast, I test some but only found crappy ones.

Well, those are not ads, it's part of the Google search result and displays Twitter messages of github in this case.
I simply do not understand why the page is redrawn and is forced to reload, this seems unnecessary to me.

About the video:
I recorded my screen with the integrated screen recorder of my phone and then used https://ezgif.com/ to turn it into a gif file.
