Important Update: Changes to Blocklist Syntax Support
There are wrappers for updating regex lists that can be modified with other URLs. This was floating around for a while: https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/blob/master/install.py and this is another method: https://www.bentasker.co.uk/posts/documentation/general/refreshing-piholes-regex-block-list-from-external-sources.html With enough regex tweaking I bet you could shave at least tens of thousands of lines off your list, and it could be divided into regex entries for domains where it makes sense, with the rest being non-regex domain entries. Simple regex that is functionally equivalent to AdBlock style wildcard blocks won't notably bog down the system either. It might take a few hours to get a workflow going to streamline producing such a list, but it can be done.

Potential problem: Trouble with Pi-hole blocking ads etc
I also have a bunch of RegEx blacklisted from this pihole-regex/regex.list at master · mmotti/pihole-regex · GitHub and these:

Looking for a decent blocklist
Here's a list of domains I've used for years. All of which have been collected from different websites and sources such as https://firebog.net/ and https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex.
-
Chrome says that they're no longer allowing ad-blocker extensions to work starting in January
I also suggest these regex blocks

Any simple/conservative lists that just block ads, not trackers that might break mobile apps and web sites?
Your mileage may vary, but a combination of the default pi-hole list, the firebog.net lists (green, checkmark lists only), and the https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/blob/master/regex.list do a pretty complete job for me.

Pi-hole not blocking a good amount of ads
While not perfect, and does not directly address the YouTube ads, I can suggest setting up mmotti's Regex Filters for Pi-hole.
- Corrupted pihole died and it used to block advertisements for other shows on HBO Max. New pihole installation does not. What list/regex entry blocks HBO Max ads?
- Ist there a way to block a URL other than the host file?
-
What regex entries do you use? The regex megathread is several years old at this point and I was unsure if there are any new ones to add.
I did also find these as well: https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/blob/master/regex.list

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?
What are some alternatives?
