Unable to access a particular website using Android phone, all other devices work.

This suddenly occurred this morning, I get a message "This page isn't working" HTTP error 500. This only happens on my Google Pixel 7a phone, I can access the forum on all other devices, PC and Ipad and my wife's iPhone, it seems to be an entirely Android issue.

I've tried so far: clearing cache, changing password, using different browsers, stopping my anti virus, but nothing seems to work. I can occasionally get it to work using Firefox but that stops working after a while. Be grateful for any suggestions.

Which particular website is it? Have you tested both WiFi and 4G/5G? Are you using private DNS on the phone?

Which DNS are you using? change to a different one to see if you can access.

The site is Stargazers Lounge. I did try to access the site by 4G with the same result.
I've actually managed to get it working by changing the default browser to DuckDuckGo(lol)

I have been able to access the site, paste a shortcut on the home page and then return the default browser to Firefox and still I'm able to access the site.
I've absolutely no idea why that has worked.
Thanks for the replies.
