Website or Browser Issues

I use DuckkDuckGo's web browser and recently the browser will not open C-BRATS website it says "DuckDuckGo can’t load this page.Could not connect to the server."
If I use Safari or other browsers C-BRATS site opens fine but then when I use the search bar the browsers say "You are not connected to the internet." Are others have trouble with C-brats website? Thanks Eric

Yes— I’m also unable to use most of the website. The main page works, and new posts seem accessible, but searching for anything (either in-site or by typing c-brats and my search into Google (often a better way to go)) shows me links and text previews that cannot be opened. Or rather most won’t open— randomly some will, and I haven’t found a pattern. While I do love free and de-centralized knowledge, this is making me think how much I’d be willing to pay for access right about now!

Thanks-- yes, that was the thread I had seen, but mostly about photos and that the issue was temporarily resolved until the eventual/pending migration happened. I wanted to raise attention to the fact the site is not working for older posts. Searching for info on transom caps-- can't open links. Bow roller / anchor compatibility-- can't open links. Almost entirely everything I search for comes back as being unable to open (except randomly one or two will go through). It was my hope that maybe nobody had been searching hard to discover this, as new posts were going on just fine, and that it might be an easy fix.

Potential Workaround. Robert Wilkinson posted elsewhere that the search w/ the magnifying glass might actually work, rather than the Enhanced by Google. Trying this seems to work! So the issue appears to be the entry via Google, either the "enhanced by" box or using C-Brats and searching Google itself. The Google search is better, but not when it is entirely broken.

Several who are asking here, already have the answer. It revolves around both unwanted access to this site, and
