It's hard to debug "does not load /anything/" without more specifics.

You may want to try the releases from the google repository. I've
been using version 85 (initially stable-85.0.4183.83-1.x86_64) on my
C7 systems since early this month and just updated from
stable-85.0.4183.102-1.x86_64 to stable-85.0.4183.121-1.x86_64 this
morning. Still with no issues.
