Mull (Firefox Fork) doesn't load Google.com. Switching useragent to Chrome "solves the issue" (streamable.com)

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

I feel you have a wrong perception of the average Firefox user.

It's not a recent fad for tech and privacy enthusiasts. The browser has been around for 2 decades, many people have been using it since forever and just don't switch to anything else. People around me are all on Firefox (>20% market share in Germany), and yet using the google ecosystem all over.

Granted, in the last 6-12 months privacy enthusiasts came over from Chrome, but that doesn't mean that this is their largest user base. Far from it.
