Many reported that only Google works on their Internet and this will make browsing the web impossible. Luckily, there are several ways you can use to fix this issue.

Why is no website opening except Google?

In most cases, this is caused by issues with your DNS, IPv6, or your firewall settings.

What can I do if only Google sites work?

Before we try anything else, try restarting your router or your wireless connection. If possible use a different connection to install the latest network drivers. Remove any recently installed network applications and hotspots.

1. Change the DNS Settings

If the Internet is connected but only Google works, you can try using a different DNS as shown above. You can also try these alternative addresses

2. Restore the Windows Firewall to default

Windows Defender Firewall can block the websites you are trying to access, so restoring it to the default settings might fix the issue for some users.

3. Diagnose the connection

5. Disable IPv6

6. Flush the DNS

7. Try another browser

The error is not specific to a particular browser. However, try switching to another one and check if the problem is solved. A stable, secure, and mostly error-free option we recommend is Opera.

It gets frequent updates, is easy to use, and offers full support for data transfer from other Chromium- based browsers, so if you want to make a full transition, you don’t have to worry about losing data.
