Can't access certain website on browser

This is a really weird issue and I just don't know what to do about it.

Multiple times a day, google.com and the search bar on chrome suddenly stop working. They load about a 1/4 of the way and then stop. It happens on chrome and safari so I know it's not the browser.

I am updated to the newest version and this phone is literally less than 3 weeks old.

It's ONLY that one website and the only thing that fixes it is to restart it but it just crashes again a couple hours later.

In the last 5 years with Samsung, I don't think I've restarted my phone as many times as I have these last few days and, of course, this issue started immediately after the return period ended.

Please help!

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

As you came from Android, did you install any security software?

Get rid of Chrome. I have never had your problems with Safari. Google is a rival to Apple, steer clear if their products. If you are stuck with Gmail then use Gmail app, not Mail. Thats the only Google app I use.

Even if it is not the cause it is still good advice.

I've been using chrome since it came out. I have thousands of bookmarks and tons of info attached to it and even my apple id uses my Gmail account. I'm even using Google photos and their keyboard because they are far superior to anything apple has to offer.

I'm not going to stop because apple is threatened and feels like being petty and not allowing me access to their website. If I was still within my 14 day return window, I'd take this phone back in a heartbeat because day by day I realize how much better samsung products are but it's too late for that so now I'm stuck with a phone that can just about only do the basics and not even very well but I'll be ****** if I start using bing or wait around for apple to develop a search engine that's likely not going to be as good as google anyways.

I just want to be able to access the website. That's all I'm asking.
