Problem with Chrome apps and task manager (lemdro.id)

Ever since upgrading to Plasma 6 (fedora 40) my chrome web apps have been misbehaving when I try pinning them to the icon-only task manager (is that still what it's called?)

1.They randomly disappear from taskbar although i have pinned them

2.Sometimes they are there but wont work (i get a weird "chdir: not found" error)

3.Pinned chrome apps work but wont survive reboots.

Have you experienced a similar problem? I've tried both stable and beta versions of Google Chrome.

I use Firefox with "firefox-pwa" extension and I have zero issues with webapps

Additionally, Floorp also natively supports webapps

I actually tried floorp. It was a pretty good browser.

I don't think it's just Plasma 6. I've had similar issues for a couple years when I've attempted this. One of two things happens: the icons revert to the default blank page, or the pinned app disappears entirely. I have an old Chromebox that I flashed and installed Neon on, and I wanted to make it look like Chrome OS, but I've never gotten the task bar to stay looking right.

I'd take a look at those .desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications/ or /usr/share/applications/

Is firefox an option?

Chdir is a function within C/++ so it's most likely a problem with Chrome, as I'm fairly certain Plasma would be using <unistd.h> properly.. Maybe perhaps installing perl-file-chdir or perl-cwd-gaurd could solve this, but I wouldn't bet on it. Wouldn't hurt to try at least.
