Is there a filter or otherwise a way to block all google domains except YouTube?
Yes
- It's all just Chromium

Block lists for big corporation's
There's https://github.com/nickspaargaren/no-google for Google, scroll down and you'll find other lists for the rest of the corps you mentioned.
- Is there a list of google’s telemetry and tracking domains? It should make some difference if these can be blocked using netguard.

How do I block google trackers?
If so, you can use this blocklist: https://github.com/nickspaargaren/no-google
- Degoogling using hosts
- Degoogle filterlist

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?

Brave's AI assistant now integrates with PDFs and Google Drive
Cromite[0] is the best on Android, it's a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium.
Cromite has a desktop build, but it's a bit more experimental than the mobile build, so you can use Ungoogled Chromium[1] instead. Ungoogled is also a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium. Check the beta flags to enable some more interesting features like getClientRect anti-fingerprinting measures (unfortunately breaks some React-based sites that go into infinite re-render loop).
Both of these browsers selectively include patches from Brave, but they are community-oriented builds so imo more trustworthy than Brave, which continues to package various shady anti-features and always will because it's backed by a for-profit company.
LibreWolf[2] is the nicest Firefox-based one for desktop, I think. It's pretty hardcore, though, I most only use it to visit mainstream social media sites.
I tried a bunch of the Firefox-based ones on mobile and none of them clicked for me. Cromite is just too slick on Android. Put the address bar at the bottom and off you go. Only downside is no online syncing of tabs and bookmarks, but meh. You can save all open tabs to bookmark bar in one hit then export your bookmarks, send the file through whatever E2EE channel you want to your other device and import then reopen them again.

any working adBlock for YouTube?
Firefox or Ungoogled Chromium (needs to update uBlock manually) in Incognito window with unchanged vanilla uBlock Origin with lists updated and no other plugins and without YouTube account. Works perfectly. Also FreeTube.

Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome
Using these sort of downstream patch set browsers is rarely a good idea. If it has multiple full-time developers from a respected org dedicated to it, then it can be justifiable (Tor Browser, Brave), but take a look at the gaps in time for these two pages:
https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium/rel...
https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/c/ch...
There's often days you're going without security patches. If you want a browser without Google tracking, Firefox is a much better choice.

Installing Chrome extension from raw source code
While these screenshots use Google Chrome, they will also work on all 'Chromium' based web browsers, like Brave, Vivaldi, ungoogled-chromium, etc. Window's Edge is also compatible, though some the button locations are changed.

Brave is a fork, not a Chromium reskinn
I would highly recommend the Ungoogled Chromium fork instead: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium
Entirely volunteer maintained, there is no for-profit entity behind it looking to do crypto referrals or ad swapping or anything like that.
What are some alternatives?
pihole-regex - Custom regex filter list for use with Pi-hole.
chromium - The official GitHub mirror of the Chromium source
nextdns - NextDNS CLI client (DoH Proxy)
