Using a regular @gmail.com account, and switching the GMail language to
en_US indeed I got blocked, using Ephy TP, but not with Ephy installed
from distribution packages.

One difference here between distro packages and TP is that Arch Linux
is nowadays building WebKitGTK with soup3 and it supports HTTP/2, while
the TP build in Flatpak AFAIR still uses soup3 (and has no HTTP/2 support).

I tried setting SOUP_FORCE_HTTP1=1 in the environment and then Ephy 42.2
with WebKitGTK 2.36.1 _also_ got blocked. In this case using the “Try Again”
button worked.

Last but not least, one more comment: to switch from Finnish to English-US
I need to choose the language *twice*, first in the login entry page, which
redirects to https://www.google.com/gmail/about/, then clicking the “Sign In”
button shows the login entry page *in Finnish again*, and choosing English-US
a second time stays in the same page but finally in English. No idea if this
can be some related symptom.
