Google and Fire Fox not working on Big Sur, though a reboot fixes it for awhile It seems every few reboots since I put Big Sur on my Mac mini lat 2014. It asks to confirm my gmail password, and when I click on open the website it fails, and can't find google. I went to Google Chrome, and Chrome won't browse the internet. I get this message This site can’t be reached I also tried Firefox and the same issue, so Safari works, but not the others, so will see about a reboot. www.cbc.ca refused to connect.Try: Checking the connection Checking the proxy and the firewall ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED so I am wondering if Big Sur is blocking the google domain for some reason?

Safari slow and fails to load pages after Big Sur update' does anyone have a solution? Does anyone have a solution. I have tried everything Apple support has listed. Google Chrome works but Safari only works with cached pages. I even reinstalled the OS. I have tried numerous DNS servers. Shutting down Safari or the network connection sometimes works for a couple of sites. After that it goes back to slow or can't find server. My download speed is 347 mbs. DNS lookup in terminal works fine.

DNS Issue Since installing Big Sur, my internet connection has been slow and kept dropping out. I changed the DNS settings to OpenDNS servers and it was back to normal. Then it went slow again and dropping out again. I checked the DNS settings and it had deleted mine and restored the old ones I had removed. This keeps happening. I tried flushing the cache with Terminal command: sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder That hasn't helped - it still removes my DNS settings and restores the previous ones that don't work. Anybody got any ideas?

Probably trouble reaching some Domain Name Server (either yours or one associated with the domain you are trying to access). Could be a network block, a network failure, or a problem at the domain server itself.

Probably, but before update everything works well
