Heh, back when google was just a white page with a search bar I noticed that the front page would come up, but he results didn't. Turns out I was on a home network connection with PPPoE which slightly decreases the maximum MTU. I opened a ticket with google and a SRE called me back (to my surprise) and we tracked it down. Google had a new firewall that was blocking MTU negotiation.
