Why doesn't Google Chrome open tabs in wine 3.0, including settings and other service menu items?

Hello.
The situation is this:
The machine is on Rosa Linux Cobalt 7.4;
wine 3.0.2 with 32-bit wineprefix installed from native dew repository.
Installed google chrome version 83.0.4103.61 (installed earlier versions, up to 53), the browser must be installed in wine, it is associated with one necessary plugin that exists only for windows.
The system cannot be changed either, import substitution and a purchased license.

So here's the question itself: chrome opens, but the tabs are empty and instead of the favicon the error icon:

The riched20, riched30 packages were successfully installed through winetricks. The error persists.
Google didn't come up with any clear solutions.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Making something more or less complex work in wine is very difficult, and often simply impossible. Especially such a thing tied to Windows as chrome. The latest version of wine is 5.6, by the way.
You can try the session log to see if it is being logged (where wine writes errors), but it is highly doubtful that this will help.
A plugin that exists only for windows, with a high degree of probability in wine, and even in such a fossil, simply will not work, even if by some miracle it manages to get chrome itself.

Of course, necroposting, but still ...
And what prevents you from attaching repositories from Debian or Centos (there are instructions for the latter on the same hub)?
If you are trying to follow ready-made instructions, it is very important that at least the versions of Wine and Chrome match.
It would also be nice to check the presence of the libraries necessary for the plugin through the same Dependency Walker, both under
windows and under wine.
In general, with such symptoms, it would be worth conjuring with the rendering settings - first of all, disable the gpu process and / or hardware acceleration.
