To fix that you just need to look through the logs through the native pi-hole UI and whitelist those domains which cause friction with your browsing habits.

The google sponsored search issue was one I also fixed quite quickly.

As for the others those services depend on, again you just need to find them and whitelist them which isn't too tricky to do. Unfortunately pi-hole won't stop everything.

That is also an option yes, however it is challenging in todays world to find products that aren't hostile. Usually its a question of to which degree are they hostile and what can I live with or control.
