The browser does not follow advertising links. When you click on the link banner ad nothing happens. I use the compiler MSVC 2017 64 bit.

Start by looking at the source of whatever links don't work, and see if there is anything unusual about them. The C++ compiler you used should not be of any relevance.

Seems very similar to this

I seem to have that problem. The author make it so:
I have fixed it by reimplementing QWebEnginePage.

appwebenginepage.cpp

QWebEnginePage *AppWebEnginePage::createWindow(QWebEnginePage::WebWindowType)
{
    return this;
}

And added the page to the QWebEngineView.

browserTest = new QWebEngineView(browserTab);
AppWebEnginePage *webPage = new AppWebEnginePage();
browserTest->setPage(webPage);
Now it opens all links in the QWebEngineView window.

But I didn't know how to do it. Please explain.

Hi
You should create your own version of a QWebEnginePage
In his sample its called AppWebEnginePage

and in that new class, you should override the virtual function
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwebenginepage.html#createWindow
as shown.

and then add your page to the Engine. (instead)
