I've been using CloudFlare for a year or two now, before that it was Google. I think I did try OpenDNS for a time. Keep them guessing, I say.

I cannot speak for Bradles, who brought this up originally, but in my case the device on which I have the problem is also the only one I regularly use to access MR. When I said "similar" I was referring to the problem seeming MR specific rather than device specific, which I cannot say. In my case I've also wondered if it could be browser related: I recently moved to Vivaldi, and really like it, but it's behaviour when loading of tabs can make for some oddities. I've had too much work on to spend much time on the problem - it came on its own, so I've been hoping it will go the same way.
Yes, cloudflare is the DNS configured on the pi-hole. The pi-hole is passing through mobileread.com successfully, so no issues at that level.

No other sites have this issue. Only mobileread.com.

I tried different browsers (slightly different anyway - Edge vs Chrome) and private mode, but it didn't make a difference when there was a problem.

I've switched the pi-hole over to OpenDNS to give that a go.
