Browser sequence
- Confirm the complete address before opening or entering account information.
- Close old tabs and launch one new tab rather than repeatedly refreshing a redirect loop.
- If an old destination persists, remove data for that site only after noting that saved session data may be cleared.
- Read security, download and permission warnings; do not bypass a warning when the source is unclear.
Network comparison
Run one controlled test
Record whether the page resolves, redirects or times out. Avoid multiple simultaneous tabs.
Repeat the same action
Use the same verified address. A different result suggests a connection-specific issue, not a final diagnosis.
Keep useful context
Note time, browser, connection and the exact visible message before asking for help.
Safety boundary: never send a password, OTP, recovery code or payment detail to someone offering to “fix” a browser route.
