## Description
Tried to hide the window on the 'unload' event and show it on the 'loadstop' event. The previous content is shown initially and the new content starts drawing after which makes a flicker. I assume this is not the expected behavior.
### Command or Code
```
ref.addEventListener('loadstop', () => {
ref.executeScript({
code: `
window.addEventListener("beforeunload", function(event) {
webkit.messageHandlers.cordova_iab.postMessage(JSON.stringify({
hide: true,
}))
});
`
});
});
```
Platform: Android 9.0
Cordova: 10.0.0
InAppBrowser: 5.0.0

Research direction
Reproduce the Android 9.0 flow around ref.show(), loadstop, and the beforeunload handler, then trace the InAppBrowser Android implementation responsible for displayed content during navigation. Done means ref.show() no longer briefly displays the previous page before the new content is drawn.
