Is there still no way to prevent the flash bang while waiting for initial content from the server?
Use `background-color` in Firefox's `userContent.css`.

Re: Six Levels of Dark Mode (2024)
#13I thought this was going to be about how people prefer different levels of blackness for the background in dark mode. I've heard people say that pure black is more battery efficient for OLED displays (but don't know if this is true), and I know some folks prefer a less-inky grey. I was wondering how there could be six levels though; I'd think 3 or 4 would be the most anyone could notice or care about.
The more universal solution would be to standardize Reader Mode compatibility, and for browsers to let users configure how they want Reader Mode to look.
In other words, instead of an n x m solution where every web site has to cater to each different user preference, there should be a simplified content view that every web site only has to support in a singular way, and that allows browsers to cater to the various user preferences.

for OLEDs, I tend to prefer pure black because it doesn't burn-in. Since they have a limited lifetime, any "on" time is costing me usage in the long-long-long run and I'd rather have my monitor last 5+ years than ... 2 or 3.

#15> Dedicated files make sense if you do a lot of customization. The browser may ignore any CSS file that does not match the query, so there’ll be one less thing to download.
That’s not how it actually works: in practice, browsers download them all. They may prioritise them differently, but they’ll still download them all in the end.

#17Would've been cool if the levels came into effect while you scrolled down the page
Or were selectable by the reader at each appropriate position in the page.

I don't know if I misunderstand the problem, but what about a style tag at the earliest part of the page indicating the background color to use?

make dark mode the default, then it's a flash of dark in either case

This likely would have happened already if it weren't for Google's hostility to Reader Mode. It's hilarious to see the Reader Mode that they offer, where it's a resizable 2-column view, to ensure that ads are loaded and kept in sight. We get it, Google: you don't want to endanger your ad revenue.
