Description Antonio E. 2005-10-21 01:14:19 UTC 
Version:           kde-3.5_beta2 (using KDE KDE 3.4.92)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc-3.3.6 
OS:                Linux

I open konqueror and I type http://maps.google.com. The page doesn't load. The bottom bar is all the time saying two messages:
- Receiving information of 6.0 kb from maps.google.com
- maps.google.com contacted. Waiting for response.

And it takes forever. It never finishes. The page is completelly blank. A strange thing is that the google icon in the window's title is switching all the time from the google icon to another (I think that is the standard html icon).

I've java and javascript enabled. It loads perfectly in firefox.

Google changed their website.

Change your browser identification to Safari and it will work fine.

Google tests your browser identification to see if it is supported or not. If it isn't, it runs:
  window.location.href = '';

which causes a reload of the current page. So, not a bug.

Yes, that works. Thank you very much for your fast answer.
