I would use google, but my internet has 'off days' when it decides to only let me use certain websites, fortunately ab is one of them. But we never get a good connection and there are always some website we can't get on to.
Google is one of the most stable sites on the web, if you are having problems with it I'd suspect a browser hijacker, when was the last time you run a full scan with some anti malware software (such as antimalwarebytes)
we're at the end of the line and our internet has always been dodgey, everyone in the village gets problems with it and we've had it with all three computers and several internet providers, there's nothing they can do until we get the fibreoptic cable stuff round here.
But we're in the middle of nowhere, at the end of the country and will probably be one of the last places to get stuff like that and go digital with our tele.
