Yeah :(
It's hard to find fun games that can be played in the browser nowadays. They definitely do exist, but there's no where near the variety that we used to have when Flash was still a thing.

Js and canvas is a code execution environment, but Flash had a polished authoring environment which I believe made it easier for less-technical people to get stuff happening.
That said, I’m not going to pretend like I go there frequently either. I just don’t have time to blow on popcorn experiences anymore.
I literally tried to pull up itch while tablet shopping yesterday - the site never rendered on the tablets and the one game I tried about crashed the whole tablet. Audio/video worked fine. I'm sure if I sat down at a high powered beefy windows desktop maybe they'd work - I remember flash working great on 1GHz celeron processors with maybe 1 or 2 GB of memory and windows 95. Html games are still a bunch of nonsense, on average.
You could also install the desktop client, then you can play all the games easily (including the non-web-based ones).
I'm partial to this one: https://leef6010.itch.io/projectkat
