The solution was to use `load()` instead of `setUrl()`.

Fixed in commit https://gitweb.stoutner.com/?p=PrivacyBrowserPC.git;a=commitdiff;h=5daa7af456c7daa05b1a055932b5156ed1f88b00.

Turns out this wasn't fixed by the previous commit.

The attached patches fix this issue. As Qt doesn't seem to want to implement it upstream, I will likely have to release PrivacyWebEngine earlier than anticipated.

I was able to develop a tricky workaround involving canceling the load when the user agent changes and loading the new URL a second time. It's a bit hacky, but it happens so fast the user doesn't notice.
