I use Firefox with no problems but you do need to go into Privacy & Security settings and select "Don’t enable HTTPS-Only Mode".
For privacy I also use the "Privacy Badger" extension to block trackers and it seems to work reasonably well. It also has the bonus of blocking most ads from third party sites. "Privacy Badger" is also available for Chrome, Opera and Edge and I would recommend installing it.
I also avoid using Google as a search engine; instead I use Duckduckgo who's search results are pretty good and who don't track you the way Google does.

I think that Guy may be right...it may be the case of clearing the cache in Chrome, and allowing permission in settings.

Seriously though be assured you are not the only one to have issues I know at the moment long time member johng has been unable to even find the site keeps getting 404.
Well anyway you're back in hope it stays that way for you.

Firstly, it's great to see you back with us mate
I too have issues with being unable to access this site using Chrome and I think it is because Ausrock is not a secure site (https:) and Chrome doesn't like this
I use Edge but I had to tell it (in Settings) to allow this unsecure site - Chrome's equivalent setting doesn't work for some reason.
As far as getting erratic outcomes with your browser, I think it has to do with its Cache (bad data stops access, until the Cache is cleared) - maybe you restarted your PC in-between outcomes??)
Anyhow, let's hope you don't drop off the perch again - good luck.
