Google maps not available

[Maik Qualmann]

Hi Gilles,

The current situation has nothing to do with the API key. The digiKam MSVC 
bundle also no longer works, as does my current Qt-5.15 Linux version.
I've already tried all the settings you can change on the QWebEngine, 
including the user agent string.
The problem only appeared a few days ago.
