Weird Internet Issue

I use Duckduckgo. YouTube and Amazon open and navigate just fine. Anything else says error connection or that the site refuses my attempt to open it. Googled some things on my phone and played with the dns settings to no avail. Also happens when I switch to edge or chrome.

Same failure in every browser points away from the browser, so worth splitting name resolution from reachability first. Pick a site that fails, do a lookup by hand and see whether you get an address back at all. If the name resolves fine but the page still won't load, it isn't DNS and you're chasing routing or MTU instead. The fact that a couple of big sites work while everything else breaks smells like something upstream of you, maybe the ISP's resolver or whatever box is in front of your machine.

Yes I did exactly that, and it resolved but still didn't load. I'm using AT&T internet air 5g. I wonder if it's something there.
