It's certainly not that bad if you have uMatrix to do it with, but I haven't found a reasonable way to do it on mobile. uMatrix does work on Firefox Mobile but the UI is only semi functional.

uMatrix is fully-functional on Nightly.
Using Firefox Add-Ons on a "smartphone" sucks because one has to access every Add-On interface via an Extensions menu.
In that sense _all_ Add-Ons are only semi-functional.
I use multiple layers: uMatrix + NetGuard + Nebulo "DNS Rules", at the least. Thus I have at least three opportunities where I can block lookups for and requests to Google domains.
Doesn’t uBlock Origin in advanced mode do the exact same thing as uMatrix?

Having tried both, IMHO they do not do exactly the same thing. One is pattern-based, the other is host-based. As such, one can use them together, simultaneously.

Maybe, but the UX is so terrible that I never figured out how to use uBO to replace uMatrix. I always use both: uBO for ads and DOM elements filtering and uMatrix for JavaScript, frames, cookies, anything in the columns of its UI.
Basically uMatrix is so donor to use that anybody can use it. The equivalent uBO section is so complicated that I feel I need to take a master degree in that subject.

Not quite the same (I love uMatrix UI), but advanced mode in uBO is similar. It lacks filtering by data type (css, js, images, fonts,...) per domain, but it does resolve domains to their primary domain, revealing where they are hosted. A huge kudos to gorhill for both of these!
NoScript + uBO is all right.
Yup that's what I use as well. With whatever the name of the extension that makes allowing cookies a whitelist thing too, and PrivacyBadger/Decentraleyes.
Also, deleting everything when Firefox closes. It's a little annoying to re-login to everything every day, but again, they are banking on this inconvenience to fuck you over and I refuse to let them win. It becomes part of the routine easily enough.
