White filter on top of youtube videos.

Finally found the issue. I went through every conceivable brightness setting offered through Windows, my laptop settings, and Nvidia's control panel. Found mine in Nvidia Control Panel Under "Video" > "Adjust video color settings". I switched it back to "with video player settings" and now the white washout is completely gone. My laptop was naturally dark so I was trying to turn up brightness through whatever means I could find since the display itself was at 100%.
There are about 3 different places in Windows 10 where you can adjust your brightness through software means.
1st I'll list is the one I used to fix my issue above. There is another in the Nvidia control panel. "Display" > "Adjust Desktop color settings". Note the extra tabs. Not sure of the Radeon GUI but I'm sure they have something similar.
2nd Easiest is located in your Notification bar at the corner of your start menu. A sliding bar with a sun next to it.
3rd Bit more complex. In the control panel there is "Color Management". You can type that into your search bar and pull it up that way, as well. Within Color Management window, click on "Advanced" tab and click "Calibrate Display". It walks you through a special monitor calibration that is independent of the default windows one.
Since I've never seen any conglomerate for editing colors and brightness in Windows, I thought I would throw in this explanation. Please forgive my diatribe as I'll likely refer back to this.
Why does this setting only affect Opera GX video player? Nothing else, including any video players I have installed, was affected. Funky. Hope this helps others.

Not sure, but Opera GX uses the Windows Media Foundation for playback support for some media while Chrome for example does not. Could explain the difference, but that's just a guess.

@faiizy See if https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/dark_mode_settings helps explain things.

I found a solution that was really easy it worked for me but cant say the same for you but worth a try.
you select the config on dark pages 
there should be youtube on the bottom one then you press the three dots on the side and remove it. It worked for me hope it worked for you too -
CasualZade last edited byFor all the people here using Opera GX, easiest way to get rid of this annoying thing is by disabling force dark pages. Go to the easy setup and look for a "Force dark pages" and press Configure below it. Then you can see the able and disable, put youtube in the disable list and then boom, it's gone. I was also very annoyed by this, but I figured it out by doing this. IF this doesn't work for you, well.. idk but this is the way that I found.

@casualzade thank you so much. Fixed it instantly. For anyone else seeing this typing youtube.com doesn't work. Need to type "www.youtube.com"

Zumbo last edited by@casualzade I have force dark pages on and I know where the setting is, but the "configure" option isnt even there for me. I just downloaded opera gx like 40 mins ago so I dont think its any issue with being outdated or something. Anyone have an Idea as to why I cant see it? Heres my view:

@an0nymous I checked all this page...and the only thing it worked is this link: https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/dark_mode_settings/
more specific: Opera GX also allows you to force pages into dark mode by applying its own dark theme to pages. To control this, there's a global "Force Dark Pages" option at the URL opera://settings/opera-gx. But, you can also override the global on a per-site basis by right-clicking a page and choosing "Force Dark Page" or "Disable force dark page". And, to get a view of all sites that are overriding the global, you can goto the URL opera://settings/content/forceDarkMode. Note though that forcing a page to be dark when a page is already displaying as dark because of its own theme and or an extension you have installed can cause page colors to look weird. So, if you have problems with colors, always check your dark mode extensions, the page's theme, and Opera's dark mode settings to make sure you're only using one method of darkness.

@regsto Just go to the top right corner of your screen and select fast configurations then scroll down untill you find force dark pages and turn it off it might still make one site have that config like how it happened to me but just click on configuration right below it and disable the site

There are 2 things that cause this:
-
Forcing Opera's dark mode for Youtube. Right-click a Youtube page and choose "Disable force dark page". It it says "Force dark page" instead, then you're not forcing Opera's dark mode on the page and this is not the problem.
-
Youtube's Ambient Mode feature. Click the gear on the video toolbar and turn it off.

@tetika-0 Please go to opera://settings/content/forceDarkMode (force dark mode settings) and add www.youtube.com to the disable part ... Hope it helps!
