It does work, but changing DNS doesn’t solve the issue unfortunately

Do you have a custom DNS set up on your Fedora machine or the router by chance?

No, The DNS is set to automatic. And: ipv4 and ipv6 are set to automatic (DHCP), and automatic respectively.

I downloaded the data from globalstats statscounter
