cef
Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF). A simple framework for embedding Chromium-based browsers in other applications.
The way I get around the problem of "the browser keeps breaking my game" is to use the Chromium Embedded Framework to ship a stable environment. Yes, that means I will be shipping a browser alongside my game, but it means I nail down the environment in which my game can actually run.

Let it sink in that https://caniuse.com/ needs to exist, and even that's not always entirely accurate - for example a pre-chromified Edge claimed to support webp, but it turned out that it didn't work in WebGL apps.

Another point: Unlike languages such as Java where there is only a single authority over deprecations in the web dev world there are at least three, which means three times the amount of checking that needs to be done. Plus the few environments that check for deprecations are unlikely to pull from all sources. I am aware that a counterpoint is that there is https://github.com/whatwg/html and it has a well established way of commenting on deprecations and removals. However I doubt that anyone here will be going to regularly read the opened PRs and find solutions prematurely. Most (if not everyone) is going to wait until it actually breaks - which will happen give enough time.

Game dev tools like https://defold.com/ make it nearly as easy as Flash to make high performance webgames. The only thing it's really missing is flash's vector/drawing/animation tools, though it does support extensions for Spine http://esotericsoftware.com/ and is getting one for Rive https://rive.app/ so you'll have nice vectors then too.
