Thank you for finding the time to reply and to explain the Qt side of
things :)

I've filed #1055855 for this purpose, with a link to a breadcrumb trail
from SUSE.

So if we backport signon-ui's future Webkit -> WebEngine fix to
bookworm, Google might still blacklist bookworm kaccounts users for
having a user agent string that advertises an ancient browser?
Chrome/87.0.4280.144 is pretty old.  That said, I assume there are
security reasons why we should use WebEngine and not Webkit in bookworm?


Kind regards,
