Morph (QtWebEngine) outdated

My internet banking is disabled due to outdated Morph web browser. According to this: https://github.com/ubports/morph-browser/issues/223#issuecomment-529066969, user-agent is using version taken from QtWebEngine. The installed one is 5.14.2 which is quite old I think.

Is it safe to use the browser?
What are my options now?

Look at this : https://gitlab.com/ubports/core/packaging/qtwebengine/-/merge_requests/5
I don't know if it stable enough : you can test but maybe asking to Balcy before.

@domubpkm Testing MR is not an option for me. I'm able to test QA only. And I think more important is the answer to question 1. about security.

@domubpkm
Using Nexus5 dev-->stable, the qt-engine update doesn't match with it... after installing the update, some apps like morph and seabass crashed after the opening screen...
so I reinstalled stable version.
