Unfortunately, I don't know how to reproduce this, but after update 10, the browser sometimes gets stuck while rendering a web page. When this happens and you try to scroll, the content flickers like crazy. The browser is still responsive and you can open new tabs, but they will all show the same stuck page and flicker when scrolled. The browser must be restarted to get rid of the problem.

the issue i have even with 2.0.5.6 and before is slow rendering where its white while you scroll, the same happens when rotating screen whike browsing, it turns white and takes a while to render. It feel slighly snappier in 2.1.0.9 but i have had a case of flickering showing while browser cover is viewed.

Looks like a duplicate of https://together.jolla.com/question/149683/bug-browser-freezing-andor-blinking-after-updating-to-fiskarsinjoki/ - even if this bug report is older. Please vote there as well.

Noticed the same thing and blinking is highly annoying. So far with 2.1 it has not happened as frequently as with 2.0.5 but still every now and then.

I have seen this happening occasionally and one symptom is that when the tab starts to flicker in Browser some texts/lines are repeatedly painted partly over each other. Quite hard to reproduce reliaväbly but most often than not this tends to happen when memory is low and/or many tabs in Browser have been open s long time.
