Fetch API returns Network request failed on some websites.

fetch API return Network request failed only on some websites. I was trying to ping the api from my website and found out I kept getting a request error. I can ping the url via postman as a normal get request but for some reason the Fetch API won’t let me.

This happens when debugging on Android (note 9)

I don’t think this is stale as a few people have had the same issue and this was never addressed.
