   And some only apply at, or after, some minimum version of Android.   
   Several of the tricks are not available in my ancient Android 8 phone.

   I use Edge (the Chromium version).  While it uses the Blink rendering   
   engine and V8 script intrepreter from the Chromium project, it has some   
   additional features missing Chrome, plus some settings to make it more   
   private.  In Edge-C, I can use extensions for either MS or Chrome.  The   
   MS store lists those extensions that have been curated for use with   
   Edge.  If not listed there, I go to the Chrome extensions store.   
      
   Because Google forced Chromium variants to Manifest v3 that fucked up   
   (reduced) the strength of adblockers, I use the Adguard Adblocker.  I   
   think it comes pre-installed in Edge-C.  It isn't as robust as uBlock   
   Origin in Firefox, like the element hider feature is missing, but it   
   does pretty well to eliminate the crap content.  Unlike uBlock Origin   
   Lite, the MV3 version of uBO (needed in Chromium variants), Adguard   
   Adblocker lets me define user filter using the Adblock Plus syntax   
   (which I'm still clumsy with, so it takes a while to get a working,   
   effective, and focused filter for what I'm trying to block in addition   
   to the subscribed blocklists.  There is also a log view: enable logging,   
   [refresh or] load a web doc, and look at the logs to determine why   
   something may not be working at a web site.   
      
   With Edge-C and Adguard Adblocker (maxed out on all its settings), I   
   don't see the ads that impinge your experience at that web site.  You   
   should be able to use the Adguard Adblocker extension in Chrome, too.   
      
   For Edge-C, it's listed at:
