Recently, I have realized that doubleclick is not blocked by firefox ad blocker because google is sponsoring this add-on.

How can I properly block any google analytic and google doubleclick (or possibly any other evil from google) through linux for all browsers in OS-level?

I prefer to avoid browser based solutions.

I suggest you look into http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm. I use and have adapted their suggested hosts file for my own use. If you wish to use it, please open a terminal and do: 

wget http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.zip
unzip hosts.zip

Now, we will adapt the file somewhat to our use in Ubuntu:

gedit HOSTS

Remove entirely these lines:

127.0.0.1 localhost

::1 localhost #[IPv6]

Save and close the text editor.

Now, we'll back up your existing hosts file:

sudo cp /etc/hosts  /etc/hosts.bak

Now, we'll append the HOSTS file you just amended to your /etc/hosts file:

cat HOSTS | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts

You should be all set.
