Getting some strange issues with images on certain websites since switching to youfibre with fixed ip.

gmail , images not loading...but if if right click and open image in new tab, it opens. Also works correctly in incognito mode.
Similar issues on some other websites. Random as to what works and what doesnt. and can vary between devices i.e phone, pc desktop, mac laptop


Any ideas on whats going on?
 
Only affecting my macbook; Have cleared cache with no luck.
Would dns not be picked up from the router? Same sites on my pc work fine.
 
flushed the cache on macbook and restarted. Same issue.
macbook connects to router via wifi. dns on macbook points to 192.168.1.254 plus a ipv6 address
arris youfibre router settings show dynamic dns turned on but currently pointing to 8.8.8.8 as primary and 1.1.1.1 as secondary

Will hardcode the dns servers later tonight to see if it reacts differently.

update : tried on safari browser and images load fine. Only chrome has the issue on some sites.,

Finally figured this out.

It was a dodgy chrome extension causing image issues. Disabling extensions worked, then switched them back on one by one led me to the culprit.
