Which browser? When did it start? What error do you get? Do you get it in all browsers? Do other devices on the same network have issues accessing the site? What extensions are you running? Have you cleared your cache and data to see what happens?

I use Google via Safari. Started in the last two weeks. 'Safari unable to open website.' iPad and iPhone all open the site. Will clear cache and data and see what happens.

Should it be amazon.com.uk?

Opens amazon.co.uk for me though.

I believe all country based COM domains are "co.<country code>". So the OP has the the right domain name.

Where are you? I find that several co.uk sites don't connect to the US well, but if I VPN to UK, they work perfectly.

I tried Amazon.co.uk from Canada using Firefox and Brave - worked fine with both browsers.

Doesn't work for me. When I click on that URL it takes me to the US Amazon site not the one in the UK.

What URL? When I put "Amazon.co.uk", from Post #1, I get the UK Amazon site. I'm on Catalina 10.15.2 updated yesterday.

I just tried it again and it took me to the UK site. Clicking on the URL that was posted above did not work for me for some reason, but entering the URL separately in Chrome's search bar took me to the UK site.
