Bug ID: 516141
Summary: Falkon 25.12.2 receives 403 on
https://www.metro.fr/marketplace/
Classification: Applications
Product: Falkon
Version First 25.12.2
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

Component: general

SUMMARY
Description
When accessing:
https://www.metro.fr/marketplace/
Falkon consistently returns a 403 error page displaying:
“ARE YOU LOST? Sorry, only our team of experts has access here.”
This issue has been occurring for several months.
The same URL loads normally in Firefox, on the same machine and network.
This suggests the website may be blocking Falkon / QtWebEngine (possibly via
User-Agent or bot protection), but from a user perspective this is a
compatibility issue as the site is completely unusable in Falkon.
I also tested:
With all extensions disabled
With a fresh session
With default settings
The result is the same.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Falkon
2. Navigate to https://www.metro.fr/marketplace/
3. Observe the result
OBSERVED RESULT
A 403 error page appears with the message:
“ARE YOU LOST? Sorry, only our team of experts has access here.”
EXPECTED RESULT
The Metro Marketplace page should load normally, as it does in Firefox.
