Noting that sometimes it also gives me this:

Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 gives this (noting "refused" errors), but still actually gives me a response to the A 'question', unlike Google above.

I get no records at all on https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/dig/ when punching in newpipe.net -- if I'm not mistaken the toolbox site uses Google DNS servers to perform that query.
Same on mxtoolbox: https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=a%3anewpipe.net&run=toolpage
Possibly related to DNSSEC issue #385 ?
