Will they ever realise that every one would be better off if they made legally owning and consuming media easy and steamlined instead of spending billions on lobbying and propaganda?

You can always try out some premade blocking lists as someone who knows way better than both of us has probably already encountered the same problem.
You can also try to use wildcards with your blocking list as some ad and tracking companies add random alphanumeric characters to their URLs to circumvent blocking.

For optics only:
Use uBlock Origin, choose the object picker and remove the banner.

For real blocking: Use uBlock Origin and block the Google domains as suggested in another answer.
