I've documented the Translator and Language Detector APIs on MDN, which detect a text string's language and translate it to another language using a browser's internal AI model: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Translator_and_Language_Detector_APIs
Translator and Language Detector APIs - Web APIs | MDN
The Translator and Language Detector APIs provide functionality to detect the language that text is written in, and to translate text into different languages, via a browser's own internal AI model (which may differ between browsers).
I've documented the Summarizer API on MDN, which summarizes a body of text using a browser's internal AI model: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Summarizer_API
New on MDN, I've documented all-new, fully-customizable <select> elements: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn_web_development/Extensions/Forms/Customizable_select. Thanks to everyone who provided reviews!
Customizable select elements - Learn web development | MDN
This article explains how to create fully-customized <select> elements using experimental browser features. This includes having full control over styling the select button, drop-down picker, arrow icon, current selection checkmark, and each individual <option> element.
I've documented the new text-box-* CSS properties on MDN. These enable you to trim space from text element block containers in the block direction, making for more consistent text spacing. Get started at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/text-box. Thanks to @estelle from @openwebdocs for the fabulous review work!
I've documented the FileSystemObserver API on MDN, which provides an easy way to observe file system changes: see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FileSystemObserver. Thanks to Will from @openwebdocs for the reviewing work!
FileSystemObserver - Web APIs | MDN
The FileSystemObserver interface of the File System API provides a mechanism to observe changes to the user-observable file system and the Origin Private File System (OPFS). This means web applications don't have to poll the file system to find changes in the files or folder structure, which can be time-consuming and wasteful.
I've documented the Element and Region Capture extensions for the Screen Capture API on MDN: Get started at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen_Capture_API/Element_Region_Capture. Thanks to Will from @openwebdocs and François from Google for the reviews!

I've documented the Device Posture API on MDN, which allows you to query the folded state of foldable devices, and run code in response. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Device_Posture_API. Thanks to @estelle from Open Web Docs and @darktears for their review work.

I am trying to figure out how to run a WebDriver extension command via the selenium-webdriver Node.js library, but am really struggling to find any examples or information. Does anyone here have any experience in this regard?
I've documented two new WebAssembly features on MDN: JS builtins and imported global string constants. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAssembly/JavaScript_builtins and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAssembly/Imported_string_constants!
WebAssembly JavaScript builtins - WebAssembly | MDN
WebAssembly JavaScript builtins are Wasm equivalents of JavaScript operations that provide a way to use JavaScript features inside Wasm modules without having to import JavaScript glue code to provide a bridge between JavaScript and WebAssembly values and calling conventions.
