Yes, Google serves out HTML that actually works if the User-Agent
indicates the major browsers.  If you 

(setq url-user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) 
AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/87.0.4280.88 Safari/537.36")

that makes Google serve out HTML that's non-buggy.

I see the same in Chrome whether I go via browse-url or paste the URL.
