Forbidden access - to this community!

Hi - I normally use Safari on a Mac to access this community. Recently I've been denied access, getting a "Forbidden" notice. But here I am using Chrome no bother, except for the palaver of trying to remember passwords to sign in etc. 

Any suggestions about how to solve this problem?

        The 'Forbidden' notice seems to crop up on all browsers including Chrome, on various websites, not just the Community Forum.  I generally refresh the page and then have access to the site.

    There are other recent reports of this forum not working with the Safari browser.

    Chrome & Edge appear to be good options.

    Firefox works but the logon screen is glitchy and the forum's menu layout could be better.

    Could be Private Relay on MacOS or some other Security feature of Safari ?
