You save me master. Thank you very much

[@Tom-oz7wk]

I had this problem on mobile (android) and I fixed it by clearing cache but I have a question. Do I need to be concerned about the cause of this error? One website suggested this error can occur directly after a malware attack (or whatever it was) but I don't download anything unless it's through Google play. Should I start panicking?

[@melo5033]

OH MY GOD it actually worked, i changed my DNS server and now I can use websites without it not loading, THANK you dawg
