This is a confirmed Chrome bug that popped up in a recent update, and should hopefully get resolved soon.

Here's a reduced test case: https://codepen.io/chasebank/pen/KZgYXK

Here's the Chromium issue marked for triage.

I think the best thing to do for now is nothing. Wait for a proper fix to be implemented. It's never a good idea to hack around an acknowledge browser bug.

We can take some comfort in the fact that the only other people seeing this are Chrome users who recently updated. My first try was asking a Slack channel full of skilled devs, and even they weren't seeing it.

$('#toggleBlur').click(function() {
  $('#content').toggleClass('blur')
})

body {
  padding: 5%;
}

div {
  filter: blur(0px);
}

.blur {
  filter: blur(.1px)
}

Toggle blur
