In general, would be great to have an opt-out from this new context menu with the rounded corners and all the other bells and whistles back to the classic / compact one...

I think it's all under this new UI Refresh:

I just switched to Microsoft Edge, they’re on Chromium 126 and they didn’t support the stupid Chrome Refresh 2023 theme, no need to disable flags or anything! so I’ll stick to Microsoft Edge

Effectively, I found it took 2 scrolls to navigate what used to be a single click. The current context menu looks like something you gave to your worst enemy.

To be clear here, the request would not be to disable scrolling itself, but to do something to allow menus to take up the full height again, and possibly to remove excess whitespace.

Or, if possible, just an option to revert to the old menu behavior. Find whichever patch forced this behavior, and remove it.

This is so annoying, huge 4k screen and i have to deal with a scrollable context menu. Considering going back to firefox since this can't be fixed by user.

This is not only annoying, but it also seems broken: I right-click and I see the "Inspect" item at the bottom, but when I move the mouse to click it, it scrolls out of view. 🤦‍♂️

Quoting the post I made on the bug above:

Like I said, the main issue for me is the change of how menus work. They not only have too much spacing, but also do not expand to fill the whole screen height anymore, leaving us with like 5 menu items, depending on where you click on the screen.

I note that Edge seems to have the same style of menus, but does not have this particular problem. The same is true of Firefox (though I know that's a completely different beast). And, while not entirely open source, it's possible that Vivaldi's ability to just use the native menus is available code.

That would be the ideal: just revert back to using the native menus of the OS. Or, at least, have an option to do so.
