Today, I noticed that Google wasn’t loading on Mull (Firefox Fork). Switching useragent with the extension Chameleon makes the page load again.

Because it is a privacy issue. Turning it off won’t turn off all telemetry though. You need to get into the weeds or use librewolf.
Also make sure you turn off “experiments”, enable scrict mode, I stall ublock origin, and change the search engine.
How is it a privacy issue? Reading their information page on telemetry data, they don’t collect personal data except for temporary collection of the IP address, which gets deleted every 14 days. Do they collect more than they claim?
Nobody reads it lol. Telemetry is not bad, they collect useless data with it. But Account policy is privacy nightmare, that is where they collect tons of data and everybody just trust Mozilla (me too) lol.
There information page will just tell you what you want to here. Look at Firefoxs network access and you should see it still try to reach out.
