Safari artifacts using f.lux

Hi.


I've been debating with this problem since El Capitan (so, 6+ months since I started using it in the beta program).

I use f.lux, a great third party app that changes the screen color to be more tolerable during the night. It works fine in everything but Safari while watching a youtube video or netflix in fullscreen. What happens is that the second that the menu bar disappear (to stop disturbing and occupying space) or the subtitles disappear of the front of the screen, some whites just blow up and create really bright white artifacts. This happens only on fullscreen once the menus or subtitles stop appearing.

I know for a fact that this is a Safari problem because it doesn't happen using chrome, which I started using during the night while watching youtube videos or netflix because of this problem.


Please fix it. It's really annoying.

I've tried the f.lux forums and they are aware of this problem and said they can do nothing unless you do.

I have been having the same issue. When I called Apple, they helped me to remove a folder containing my bookmarks. This solved the problem. But... when I added new bookmarks, it happened again. What is the purpose of having a safe browser if we can´t add bookmarks?


This is an old issue that Apple hasn´t been able to solve, which is kind of absurd considering the price we pay for their products. I saw posts talking about this issue dated a year back.


I update to the new iOS 10.13.1, I thought maybe they solved, but no... It is not a problem with the computer, it is a problem with Safari, since it doesn´t happen with Chrome.


Come on, Apple, solve it!
