Web tech doesn't evolve that fast. You can use a 1 year old version today without worrying about missing any website functionality.

What you're missing is features that the browser itself introduces, but in this case those would be anti-features so arguably Chrome will be getting worse.

Then there's of course the security vulnerabilities.

Of course the whole discussion is moot since there's a much simpler alternative, switching to another browser.
