Is there any workaround for
the OSM.ORG website now permanently showing dim maps
to make the map back bright again?
I tried both light and dark Chromebook themes.
One workaround which was shared in the linked thread is to add special CSS styling in userContent.css. There’s also the option of installing the Better-osm-org script.

Are you sure? I’d be surprised if you are really still getting dark mode on a Chromebook in light mode. I don’t.

The only thing I haven’t tried yet is disposing of “Black & White”
But that’s like having to buy a whole new house just because one cannot find the front door key.
Have you tried the suggestions above?
Ask Copilot: Reply Firefox Dark Reader extension, includes sliders for brightness, contrast, fatty text and the more tab holds the icing on the cake,
(did not ask for anything chrome.)
If anyone uses uBlock Origin, I’ve made a filter that removes the dimming:
openstreetmap.org##img.leaflet-tile:style(filter: brightness(1) !important)
(open the uBlock Origin settings, go to the ‘my filters’ tab, paste it on a new line, press ‘apply changes’, and reload osm.org)

Too much trouble.
I’ll just live with it.
Other people might think that the site being dimmed,
means that the site is being phased out,
or like Google maps:
Round trip:
Here’s the Violentmonkey version of that uBlock Origin script :
// ==UserScript==
// @name Brighten OpenStreetMap Tiles
// @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version 0.1
// @description Brighten the OpenStreetMap tiles by removing the brightness filter
// @author You
// @match https://www.openstreetmap.org/*
// @grant GM_addStyle
// ==/UserScript==
(function() {
'use strict';
// Using GM_addStyle to inject CSS (works around CSP restrictions)
GM_addStyle(`
img.leaflet-tile {
filter: brightness(1) !important;
}
`);
})();
Result :
