How can I set QWebEngineView as non clickable, but scrollable?

I'm trying to use QWebEngineView to create an interface with Python that will show a webpage that shows the progress of something (not relevant here).

The user should only be able to scroll (the page will always have a scroll bar). The user should not be able to click anything on the webpage.

I tried to set the browser as disabled:

        self.browser = QWebEngineView(self)
        self.browser.load(QUrl(URL))
        self.browser.setZoomFactor(0.65)
        self.browser.setDisabled(True)
        
        self.layWeb.addWidget(self.browser)

It worked so that you can't click, but it also deactivated the scroll bar.

I also tried something like this:

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        self.browser = QWebEngineView()
        self.browser.load(QUrl("https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66418148/pyqt-embed-qwebengineview-in-main-window"))
        self.browser.setZoomFactor(0.65)
        
        self.setCentralWidget(self.browser)

        self.browser.focusProxy().installEventFilter(self)

    def eventFilter(self, obj, event):
        if obj is self.browser.focusProxy() and event.type() != event.MouseButtonPress:
            print("Widget click")
        return super(MainWindow, self).eventFilter(obj, event)

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = MainWindow()
window.show()

app.exec_()

But I don't know how to handle the events. So how can I a QWebEngineView as not clickable while still allowing scrolling?
