Ipv6 | 1st time setup

I've done a bit more testing.

ipv6 works fine on the internal network and I can ping various websites via ipv6, but my browser isn't using ipv6.

Why would my Windows PC and Linux PC both have the ability to ping using ipv6, but not browse the web using it?

** Edit **

Now ping has stopped working. It is still resolving the address, but not receiving a reply.

Earlier this evening

Pinging microsoft.com [2603:1030:b:3::152] with 32 bytes of data:

Now

Pinging microsoft.com [2603:1030:20e:3::23c] with 32 bytes of data:

I think adding the ipv6 hint may have messed things up. I did issue ipconfig /renew a few times on my Windows PC, but I noticed that the assigned ipv6 address was still in the previous subnet. I disabled and enabled the interface and it seems to have kicked things into life.

Now the only thing that isn't working is Adblock. Is any additional config required?

** Edit 4 **

My Windows machine, but not my Linux Mint machine, was inheriting the DNS servers that I'd configured on the ipv6 WAN interface. I removed those entries and Adblock is working.

I rebooted my router a few times last night and I was assigned a new dynamic ipv6 address. This seems to be an issue because the /48 domain is incorporated into the ipv6 addresses issued to clients.

Is there a way to force all ipv6 devices to immediately obtain a new ipv6 address when this happens?
