Off topic, but since you seem experienced at this, do you recommend any resources for extension development for someone that's beginning from scratch with no experience in this area?

If you're relatively familiar with web development in general - you can just peruse the APIs that are available for extensions
Chromium based: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/
Or for Firefox: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Web...
Then hit the MDN "My first extension page" to get a mostly functional manifest file: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Web...
Get familiar with `about:debugging` in firefox, and `chrome://extensions` in chrome - you'll need them to load your test extensions.
Finally - It's very worth it to read and understand the "core concepts" as outlined here, starting with the content_scripts: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/content_scr...
