R2C3 is the only square in block 1 that can be <3>

Squares R2C9 and R4C9 in column 9 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <79>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R1C9 - removing <7> from <1347> leaving <134>

R3C9 - removing <79> from <1479> leaving <14>

R9C9 - removing <9> from <1349> leaving <134>

Intersection of row 9 with block 8. The value <5> only appears in one or more of squares R9C4, R9C5 and R9C6 of row 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 8. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 8 cannot contain this value.

R7C5 - removing <5> from <579> leaving <79>

Intersection of column 1 with block 7. The values <347> only appears in one or more of squares R7C1, R8C1 and R9C1 of column 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 7. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 7 cannot contain these values.

R7C2 - removing <47> from <4578> leaving <58>

Squares R7C2 and R7C3 in row 7 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <58>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R7C7 - removing <8> from <3489> leaving <349>

R7C8 - removing <8> from <89> leaving <9>

R7C5 can only be <7>

R4C8 can only be <7>
