Safari can't detect I'm connected to campus wifi

Previously, when I was connected to my university's Wi-fi on campus, I gained access to articles in journals. However, Safari is not automatically detecting that, and I have to log in manually to my institution from journals (not journal-specific issue). When I use chrome, I automatically gain access to articles. How can I fix this issue from Safari?

MacBook Air, macOS 15.3

Google Scholar blocks me in Safari. I can no longer use Google Scholar in Safari. Not on my Mac. Not on my iPhone. Not on any wifi network. I can load the URL https://scholar.google.com, but if I try to search, or click "My profile" or "My library," I get a page that says: "We're sorry... ... but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now." Occasionally in the past, I've been blocked for heavy usage (not automated), but it lasted only a day or so. This time it has lasted more than two weeks. Google Scholar works in Chrome and Firefox. Just not in Safari. I've restarted. I've updated my Mac OS. I've cleared my cache. I've tried the steps at https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/86640. No luck. The one thing that does work is using a VPN. But I use Google Scholar many times a day, and I don't want to use a VPN all day because it causes other problems.

safari 17.3.1 compatibility with websites Beginning about 1 month ago (perhaps around a recent update), I was no longer able to access my local newspaper using Safari. After speaking with Apple, we agreed that I should use a different browser with that website. Since that incident, I have noted several more websites that are not responding on Safari and work fine with the other browser. I am curious if others are experiencing the same thing. I only see posts from over a year ago that do not seem to be relevant.
