How would you improve this warning modal and add some red or yellow color to it?
If it's a warning it should probably be role="alertdialog" rather than role="dialog". This will allow assistive devices to prioritize its content and trigger things like an alert sound. You probably also want to put keyboard focus on the least destructive action, which in your case would be the "save changes" button, rather than leaving keyboard focus above the close button. Here's a script by Kitty Giraudel that will do most of this for you, if you want.

New WebKit Features in Safari 15.4
On that note, TIL about screen reader issues related to dialogs in general, including this built-in. Seems like the question is primarily around how to update the focus target from the "invoking element" to the dialog's content in a reader-friendly way. There's a linked post from the MDN docs with more detail https://www.scottohara.me/blog/2019/03/05/open-dialog.html#i.... They actually still recommend a custom implementation that's considered more robust when used with screen readers: https://github.com/KittyGiraudel/a11y-dialog. I'm glad there's a callout on the MDN docs as I would have assumed this dialog element is screen reader clean. Focus management is always a tough thing regardless.

Time-Based CSS Animations
The article uses custom css @properties which are awesome and have 88% browser support [1].
One thing to watch out for is differences in how browsers handle setting the fallback initial-value. Chrome will use initial-value if CSS variable is undefined OR set to an invalid value. Firefox will only use initial-value if the variable is undefined. For most projects, this won't be an issue, but for a recent project, I ended up needing to use javascript to set default values in Firefox to iron out the inconsistency between browser implementations.

JavaScript is not single-threaded
You forgot to mention (Web)Workers. This is explicit creation, management, and communication with additional threads within JavaScript. What's more, they've been around in JavaScript longer than the V8 engine has even existed!

Speedometer 3.0: A Shared Browser Benchmark for Web Application Responsiveness
> Is it though?
In my experience it's the buggiest browser out of the big three, and is often missing basic features like e.g.:
https://caniuse.com/?search=opus
Supported in Firefox for *12 years* now, in Chrome for 10, still no support in Safari.
They only "support" Opus audio in their special snowflake '.caf' container, which is super buggy and the last time I checked no open source program could even generate Opus '.caf' files that could be played by Safari on all Apple platforms. I ended up writing a custom converter which takes a standard '.opus' file and remuxes it on-the-fly (I only store '.opus' files on my server) into Safari-compatible '.caf' files, taking special care to massage it so that it avoids all of their demuxer/decoder bugs. You shouldn't have to do this to have cross-browser high quality audio!
