Safari says can't open site due to no wifi connection yet my chrome and DuckDuckGo browsers do

"Safari can't open website due to no wifi connection" That's the message I get when searching for a site using Safari. Yet if I turn to the Chrome browser or DuckDuckGo browsers, the page loads and no it's not restricted

What is the clue?

Check network settings

Certain network settings, such as those related to using a proxy server or custom DNS server, can affect access to content on the internet. Even if you haven't changed your network settings, you might have installed software that changed those settings for you.
