A workaround is setting the "User Agent" string to something CF likes, e.g. like this:
qutebrowser --temp-basedir --set content.headers.user_agent 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0' https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in
Maybe the reason why the (very helpful) #qutebrowser folks can't
reproduce this, is because they use another qt version (qutebrowser uses
qtwebengine) and perhaps this sets user agent to a string that CF has
whitelisted.
I don't think there is much we could do here (besides updating qt and
mbakke has that in the pipeline, afaik).
