You will have a hard time browsing the web, including this site ;)

No, HN works even js disabled.

I did this experiment a while ago, blocking google in my hosts file. Usually fonts break (arrows, icons), and javascript breaks (reddit and stackoverflow need google ajax jquery to uncollapse collapsed messages).

But in general most of the web is usable.

In theory it should be possible to host fonts and jquery locally, but I wasn't able to manage that.

I am nor 100% sure, but I think injecting resources locally is what Decentraleyes does.

Maybe you can "mock" google domains and serve them locally?

Not really. I block all occurences of google tag manager and a lot of other ad related services and I have 0 issues.

Not at all, just use a content blocker in whitelist mode allowing 1st party content and you're done.

Content blocking is not an all-or-nothing process. Popular blocklists have different flavors depending on whether you value privacy (blocking almost everything Google, etc.) or usability (blocking ads, telemetry, third-parties) but allowing everything else.
