Ah, ok, that makes sense. So, I browsed to http://browserleaks.com/geo/
in Falkon, and I did see some Google API activity happening in the
background that seemed as if the QtLocation is still compiled into this
version, at least. Bummer....

I'm not sure if this is as easy to test as the other, because I don't
even have a google account to be authorized with. But if the Geolocation
feature is a hint, then I'd assume this is still turned on as well, at
least in this package, by default.
So, how would one go about testing OAuth? Would I need to have a google
account to test with? And if I can log into something like
openstreetmaps.org using my Google account info, is that OAuth, or am I
oversimplifying things?
And the solution for privacy-minded folks then would be to either avoid
QtWebEngine entirely, or else compile your own with these turned off at
compile time? Seems like a hassle....
thanks for helping me explore,
