List of domains owned by google
I first tried to gather Google domains to use in my pi-hole about a year ago, but ran into a similar problem you currently have. The list nickspaargaren is probably the best public list, but it does not have almost 8,000 domains; it has about 8,000 subdomains. If you run a script to fetch only apex domains, it only has about 800 Google domains. There is also a regex list if your DNS system supports it, since it will likely catch future subdomains as Google creates them.

Friday of recommendations!!
Once Adguard is installed you can use it together with nextdns. It would be the easiest way. Or you could install Adguard and use This list. You must add it as a custom list.
- Does apps like Google phone and google messages and photos (more below) send telemetry?

Firefox Beta for Android finally lets you install any browser add-on, with a small catch
I think if you block 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in your router, the Chromecast will be forced to fallback on your router's DNS which you can set up to be pihole. You can set up CastBlock in docker to handle sponsorblock for chromecast
