While browsing the web I look at the resources webpages want to load.

Sometimes (not that rare) they attempt to load scripts and resources from google owned domains:

  • google fonts
  • storage.googleapis.com
  • ajax.googleapis.com
  • gstatic (I assume this is also some google shit)
  • youtube (obviously)

Are you more distrustful of such sites, do you block their resource loading attempts? What are other google services/domains like this, often embedded into 3rd party websites?

I use decentraleyes and block js from loading using no scripts, I use a few other extensions two but those are the main ones

You can prevent some of this by using the https://decentraleyes.org/ extension.
