Fiber service without static IP service provider blocks all incoming ports. But cloud services work. Waiting for my static IP in a day or to.

Out of the blue, websites will not load. Google search page works but when I click on any of the search page links pulls up the connection issue page. Even if I go to a page I know, like youtube or even this forum. Then 5 mins later will start working again. keeps doing muetple times a day.
CPU running fine. The only thing I see in the Firewall System log is Default deny rule IPv4 (1000000103) nothing else. The only firewall rule I have setup right now is to Allow all traffic on the lan ports. I even plugged my computer directly into the lasn port to make sure it was not an issue with the switch and still having issues. not seeing any wan dropouts in the logs.
As already mentioned, pinging an IP whilst the browser is not connecting will determine whether this is an Internet connection interruption or a DNS resolution issue. I usually have an ongoing ping running in the background e.g. ping 8.8.8.8 -t, whilst troubleshooting such issues.
If DNS resolution issue, do you have any ad-blocking services running? A lot of Google search results these days include campaign tracking data, which some ad-blockers will block.
