The id of the little bottom is ##detach-button-host you can hide or none via css.
Or if you use uBlock origin or AdBblock you can block the little bottom, right click block or user filter.
this for all sites -> {*###detach-button-host}

@alobpreis and, i believe i found the reason.
looks like the installers in the repository (https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/) are tamper or corrupt.
i install opera with the web installer form the website download bottom (OperaSetup.exe 2.64 MB), and no issues, all pictures/images crisp and pristine.
that explain why the issue persist on PCs with different OS, brand, parts and configurations, shame because i don't like the floating tool tips on the tabs, i guess i just have to live with that.
@andrew84 Just tested opera portable/usb 89.0.4447.48, images are perfect.
i have both versions, portable/usb and desktop web installer 89.0.4447.38 working fine, opera updates are disable, by me.
i will test opera desktop 89.0.4447.48 form the FP and form web installer later.

@mrmufa5a I can't tell you why this happens, but what I did notice is that if you download the first two, the file is a .webp one (which might be a lossless image like PNG, or just with better compression), and the Opera one is a jpg, with clearly not the best compression rate. So basically that's why you see the blurry red text: jpg compression.
Now, why Opera goes that path, I have no clue. But for sure, there's no need to play with drivers or antivirus.
notice that too today (webp and jpg), also if you delete all the hash after jpg, in youtube with dev tools/inspect element the blurriness goes away.

Hello
Windows 10 21H2 19044.2130.
Opera Your version is 92.0.4561.21 fresh install.
Test sample TheDarkSomnium.
Screenshots (issue looks more clear in YouTube especially red text):
chrome->brave->opera:
Image tested (link directly form YouTube):
Chrome:
Brave:
Opera:
The problem (maybe), after lengthy test*, I try fiddling around with youtube css (image-rendering: , transform: , etc.) with not results, them notice in Chrome and Brave the thumbnails generated links are the same, but for some reason the link generated in/for opera is different 
:
Chrome:

That explain why nothing works, the problem is Youtube/Opera compatibility at some level.
Reproduce on opera 69, 88, 89, 91, also in opera portable 91, 92.
*[
Try:
-Angle and gpu flags (Opengl, D3D9, vulkan, Accelerated 2D canvas, GPU rasterization, etc.), no results.
-NVidia control panel, no results.
-Rolling back Nvidia drivers. no results.
-Trying previous versions(69, 88, 89, 91), no results.
-windows creating a new user profile, no anti-virus or other programs running, no results.
-in other pc (windows 7 home premium, intel graphics) same results.

Thanks.

Asus X551M
Windows 8.1 pro 64bits
HP stream 11-d010nr
Windows 7 ultimate 7601 64bits
My old pc, ryzen 1600, asus board, (etc.)

@alobpreis i mean opera portable repository (this is desktop https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/)
-already try purging/deleting the profile and cache (also the install folder for good measure) and ccleaning the windows registrar before re-installing (and the others pc, all fresh install)
-Private windows, same issue.
-reset flags (-reinstalling fresh, no data/cache, no extensions, no flags or any other modification).
