Try to change the user agent to some new Firefox or Chrome.

This thing is forced by the services you mentioned, please fire a bugreport there.

Comment 2 Justin Zobel 2020-10-24 11:56:10 UTC

Does this mean you'll never support GMail use at all in Falkon?

Comment 3 louicellier.jl 2020-10-24 14:19:18 UTC

Actually, you'll have to do this in general, because the default user agent causes issues with many sites.
The simplest thing to do is to get the user agent Firefox uses, and use it for Falkon. The user agents prposed in the Falkon menu seem obsolete.

Comment 4 Justin Zobel 2020-10-25 00:12:21 UTC

The user agent that works for me is:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/82.0

Same issue, but for me it's due to default JavaScript settings.
