I wouldn't expect anything else to be honest; as long as the underlying JS / HTML does not change, anything written 10, 20 years ago should still work now. Browsers (= your application runtime) are pretty good with backwards compatibility, and not touching your application should not break things.

Unless it's doing unsafe or nonstandard stuff in the first place, like idk, cross-domain requests or weird stuff with iframes or whatever it was Google tried to do when it added an extension that tried to do preloading and stuff like that.

One day, all Meteor.js apps went blank in production (you'd just get a blank screen) due to a change in Chrome, that required everyone to upgrade (albeit, a non-breaking change, so it was easy to accept). I had been building an enterprise application on top of Meteor. The outage caused a huge lack of confidence among my customers.
