You're recording using CBR, which is a constant bitrate... and you're using a very low bitrate for recording.
Your best bet would be changing your Rate Control to CRF, and setting a quality of something around 20-25. This mode attempts to maintain a constant quality across the recording. The lower the value, the higher the quality... and vice versa.

I also tried various other screen recording tools and I have always the same problem. I set everything to the highest quality but after the video is "exported" the quality is not the same. Can it be related to my COU or graphics card?
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad with an i7 7500U CPU 2.70GHz and a AMD Radeon R5 M430 and Intel HD Graphics 620.
I don't want to record games, I only want to record my browser... shouldn't require the best set up right?

This is no encoder quality issue, it's some kind of scaling or monitor resolution related issue. You don't have display scaling 100%, you have 125% as far as I see from the screenshots. Quicksync recording mostly still images like browsers without animated stuff can be crisp and crystal clear.
Please post a logfile with a recording session, so we can see the actual settings. Additionally, a full screenshot of your monitor in its native resolution with the stuff visible you want to capture would help as well. Create and upload a screenshot with png format, not jpg, because jpg would distort the picture info that is important in this case. Simply press the PRINT key to capture to the clipboard and press CTRL-V here in the forum message editor should work best without intermediate file.

Looks all good for me. The attached video was good quality. Not the blurred stuff from your first 2 screenshots. Where did you take these?
How did you check the recorded video? Which player? Did you upload to Youtube and checked the quality there? Keep in mind that Youtube recodes every uploaded video and it takes time until the native resolution is available. The first resolutions immediately after upload are very low and appear blurred and pixelated. You need to wait until Youtube offers the uploaded video in all resolutions.

To me the recording I uploaded to google drive is still blurred... Is there no way to make it better?
The 2 Screenshots from before were taken right from the exported mp4 file from obs. I didn't upload the video. I just played it with a player and made a screenshot.

Must be your video player. This is a comparison of your screenshot above (left) and a screenshot of my media player showing your video you uploaded to Google drive (right). They are looking the same.
Try VLC as media player or Media Player Classic.
And in OBS, set Settings->Advanced->Color Range to Partial instead of Full.

Today it was first time i used OBS and i have same issue. As "@FIXER "indicated I applied the resolution of my screen (1920x1080) to the 2 settings of Video topic: "Base (Canvas) Resolution" and "Output (Scaled Resolution)" and it was running well . Then it was important than the two params have the same resolution of my screen in my case.

It is unlikely that you will read this reply. However in the off chance you do, just know, I spent so much time on my editing pc messing with presets from my previous setup, trying to optimize because it looked like my footage was underwater. *checks default player* "Huh guess windows media player is default on this device" *launches in vlc* " Holy sh--". Thanks, you're a real one.
WMP didn't used to be that bad. I wonder what happened. Oh well, more publicity for the free cross-platform thing. :-)
