How can you setup firefox to disable connections to third party domains (piefed.social)

To easy understand what i am saying, i will give you this example, you visit domain.com but on this page there are other things from external domains other than domain.com that firefox fetches/connects to - cdn.blabla.com; third-party.socialwebsites.com, etc. What i want, is to simply not connect to any other domain except what i typed in url bar. I understand it can break pages but i dont care.
A while ago, setting permission.default.images to 2 somehow worked and stopped loading of external content. Disabling prefetch/preconnect/predict/predictor does nothing.
p.s. i dont want to use extensions, only about config.

Replace "an extension" with "a browser" and you can say the exact same thing. At some point you have to trust something and I have seen no evidence that uBlock Origin is doing anything nefarious so far.
