Are you using a VPN? It doesn’t seem to like those.

No. Stopped working about two months ago on my iPhone and MacOS systems. Doesn't matter if Chrome or Safari, DNS 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 or ISP default DNS.

I’ve gotten ads on Facebook for erectile dysfunction pills that were simply clips of porn videos. When I took a screenshot of the ad and posted in an fb group my account was automatically banned from posting for 10 days. Facebook has the technology to prevent this, they just don’t for their paying customers.

iCloud private relay will do this too. Check that you haven’t got that enabled and that you’re using an upstream DNS provider other than 1.1.1.1.

Archive.ph blocks some dns providers. Cloud flare is one of the impacted dns providers. Because cloud flare does not pass along some location specific information that archive.ph can use for tracking, archive.ph returns garbage replies to cloud flare. This is why you get stuck in the loop

Have had private relay disabled for many months (just doublechecked). It broke a lot of sites.
