I'd like to do this mainly as an experiment.
To see how well the web works without anything served by or data sent to Google.
Is there a list of IP ranges I can just block in my hosts file?
A Firefox extension?
A script?

Rather than rely on an extension, I think I would add the publicly listed up ranges to my hosts file. That will blackhole any connections where a browser extension wouldn't actually stop anything until it was being processed by the extension.
