For years and I'm still using it I've been using something called SeaMonkey? It's a Mozilla product Basically outscore its Firefox plus an integrated email program. But not the same problems here a lot of times when things are upgraded they tend to be now aimed at very specific browsers like Firefox so I've had to switch to Firefox to respond to any of the messages on the group. So yes they do seem to be getting more browser specific and that may be a reason for others having complications especially if whatever you using hasn't been updated.

So yes the world is getting more browser specific perhaps for security reasons. Even though I use a product that is updated on a regular basis is still has problems. So whatever you using for browser should be up to date and if is not recognized it's going to be a problem.

Looks like the kind of message that occurs when there are routing issues between your local network and the remote server the site is living on - there can sometimes be 20 or 30 hops and when there are issues some of those hops become unavailable temporarily for some people but for others where there is a different path being used the issues are not manifest.

Another explanation, and this used to happen to me a lot with my ISP, is using the ISP DNS servers on your device or router sometimes is not as robust as changing to a public service such as 1.1.1.1 or similar. I was having a terrible time watching Youtube a while back - changed the DNS on my Apple TV to use 1.1.1.1 and problem solved.

However, these issues tend to resolve themselves fairly quickly.

Seems to still do it through my mobile data, I use an android phone almost exclusively, but I'll double check it. Thanks mark

Strange, I'll try my laptop that utilities edge. I've been on site half hour since I got home, it hasn't done it yet.

It might be a good idea to clear out all your browser caches (this should include any DNS caching). I might also be inclined to recommend Roy from the IT crowd’s answer to everything - Have you tried turning it off and then on again?  But seriously - sometimes a phone reboot can help. If problem persists then you can then know that its an upstream issue rather than your device.
