Insectivores overall did pretty well, didn’t they? Also, interesting that it is possible that a good portion of them could have been (at least in one of the hemispheres) just tadpoles at the time. Too bad the article covers so little about what makes frogs different from what didn’t survive. Not too big, not too small doesn’t seem like a very thorough answer.
apparently dint start diversifying til after the extinction of the dinos, so they were likely much more primitive and less specialized (omnivores) just like mammals were, probably could burrow and not see the consequences of fallout, plus most of them were probably waterbound?. and 3 lineages survived, the most primitive is the frogs form new zealand, the tailed frogs, and the ones that are the newest.
