I'd try another browser. Internet Explorer is free, Firefox is free, Chrome is free. There's a good chance that at least on of them will work.
Then it's time to find out why that one browser you use now doesn't. But first get it working.

For example "Contacts" in Windows doesn't work on my Gmail in a Browser. never has and never will.

Also with many antivirus suites having a PRIVACY feature such actions in browsers are often blocked. That's YOUR CHOICE as this feature.

The contacts feature in Gmail has always worked for me using Chrome as the browser. I am not sure I understand
what you are suggesting. The feature just stopped working after being used regularly.

It does help that it worked before.

But as antivirus suites auto update I find folk dazed and confused over the Privacy feature and how it could cause your issue. Many owners will write "it worked before" and dismiss those updates at the peril of going bald or a thinner wallet.
