To add to @neave's workaround, it appears the deviceorientation API still works in Chrome, so you could prompt the user to open the page in Chrome if you detect that deviceorientation is broken. Something like:
```
<div id="nodeviceorientation" style="display:none">
This page no longer works in your browser.<br>
<a href="googlechromes://YOUR_URL">Open in Chrome</a> or
<a href="itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/chrome/id535886823">Install Chrome</a>
</div>
<script>
const id = setTimeout(() => {
document.getElementById('nodeviceorientation').style.display = 'block'
}, 500);
window.addEventListener('deviceorientation', (e) => clearTimeout(id));
</script>
```
Not a great solution, but possibly the easiest option for the user given the current state of things.
