Hi,

I've started noticing a weird background appearing around Chrome popup
menus.

Currently on Google Chrome version 120.0.6099.109 (Official Build) (64-bit)
xmonad 0.17.1

Hi!

Do you use a compositor in your Xmonad setup?

Thank you,

Disabling the "Chrome Refresh 2023" flag seems to have solved the issue. (I
also like the old look and feel better so win-win.) However, I'm guessing
it's just a matter of time before they force this change through.

I have tried using a compositor in the past (xcompmgr). However, it causes
my screen to have horizontal tearing, so I stopped using it.

Unfortunately it looks like they are using a semi-transparent window to render pretty rounded corners and drop shadows under the menu. And for semi-transparency to work compositor is needed.
