ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Happened to me too, 

Workaround: send firefox browser ID.
It's in Preferences, Other, Change Navigator ID. (translations may vary)
then select 

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0

either globally or for 'google.com'

This was an unfriendly move from Google (blocking QtWebEngine-based browsers), not a bug.
