How Zustand Was Born by Daishi Kato
Well, it was all a bit different than I imagined, but I'm happy how it all worked out.
CSS One-Liners to Improve (Almost) Every Project by Alvaro Montoro
This should be on your radar - once any kind of page is "finished" look at this list and apply what could be beneficial. Personally, I think wrapping the headings in a more balanced way should be on by default.
Fine-grained Markdown by Rodrigo Pombo
I get the point, but personally I am not sold. Would love to hear your opinion.

Get the screen width & height without JavaScript by Temani Afif
This is the greatest most useless thing I've seen in a while. Super creative. But why and when would I need it?

I think there is a bit more to it than described, but the article goes into some (more exotic but potentially crucial) things such as background workers, secure storage, error reporting - really worth reading if you plan to make a manifest v3 extension.
🙏 Shout-out to all authors for their hard work - thanks for sharing your knowledge!
