      @tetika-0 so I was having this problem too, that's how I found this page. I really like the "Force Dark Pages" option, but it seems to be causing this issue, at least for me it was. So you can click on "configure" for Force Dark Pages and add youtube to the list of disabled pages. It really handy, and works instantly.

        The same issue just started to appear with Chrome's dark mode (for some strange reason) and this was the only thread that I could find on the issue. The Tampermonkey script works but its intermittent and sometimes it doesn't remove the white filter.

        Here's an improved script for Tampermoney:

        // ==UserScript==
        // @name        Chrome Force Dark Mode Fix/White Overlay Fix
        // @namespace   namespace
        // @include     *://www.youtube*
        // @description Fixes Chrome Force Dark Mode on YouTube
        // @grant       GM_addStyle
        // @require  http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.0/jquery.min.js
        // @require  https://gist.github.com/raw/2625891/waitForKeyElements.js
        // ==/UserScript==
        waitForKeyElements (".ytp-gradient-bottom", removeDSclass);
        
        function removeDSclass (jNode) {
            jNode.removeClass ("ytp-gradient-bottom");
        }

          Here's the final improved version:

          // ==UserScript==
          // @name        Chrome Force Dark Mode Fix/White Overlay Fix
          // @namespace   namespace
          // @include     *://www.youtube*
          // @description Fixes Chrome Force Dark Mode on YouTube
          // @grant       GM_addStyle
          // @grant       GM.getValue
          // @require  http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.0/jquery.min.js
          // @require  https://gist.github.com/raw/2625891/waitForKeyElements.js
          // ==/UserScript==
          waitForKeyElements ("div.ytp-gradient-bottom, div.ytp-gradient-top", removeNode);
          
          function removeNode (jNode) {
              jNode.remove ();
          }

                @sodapoppy First, click on the three lines in the top right of the browser (this is directly under the "X" button to close the window). Then find the option for "Force Dark Pages" and click on "Configuration". Then under the "Disable" section, click on "Add". Then just add www.youtube.com and save and close it.

                    @sodapoppy Click on the "O" in the top left and go to "Update & Recovery" and check for updates. It definitely is an option, but it has a beta label on it. So maybe only recent versions or certain users have access to it.

                        @sodapoppy Probably using Opera GX, since this area is about Opera GX.

                                  Heyo, thought I would pitch in just in case someone needs this further down the line.

                                  Force Dark mode is indeed the culprit, but you can got to it's settings and add www.youtube.com in the list of exceptions and that will solve the issue. Hope someone finds this useful. :3

                                      @shani-ace-0 That's not settings page.
                                      Anyway, it's probably easier to just right click on YouTube and choose the option to disable Force Dark Pages.

                                            As you can see from the screenshots below, I do not have dark mode enabled and I still have the white overlay on all videos. Animated gifs are fine. Webm, Youtube and streaming services such as Netflix or Prime Video all have this white filter overlay.

                                            When first installing, I did select dark mode (experimental) on. Would that have caused it?
                                            I have tried turning all versions of dark mode off to test it. I went into "opera://flags" and changed the dark mode to "Enabled with selective inversion of non-image elements". Nothing seems to change it.

                                            Any tips?
