UPDATE below per request:
Today Brave browser is not loading any of my bookmarked websites; gmail, bank, retail, nothing. I get this error, “mail.google.com’s DNS address could not be found. Diagnosing the problem. DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE
nothing happens. I’ve tried private window and creating a new generic profile, restarting, clearing cache, cookies, history for all time.
None of this has worked. Thank you for your help.
Brave version 1.81.136
Windows OS build 26100.4946
Yes, same trouble/ message with Google Chrome
I don’t have Safari or Firefox installed, so can’t try those.
