R2C6 is the only square in row 2 that can be <3>

R4C9 is the only square in row 4 that can be <3>

R1C7 is the only square in row 1 that can be <3>

R9C9 is the only square in row 9 that can be <8>

Intersection of row 3 with block 3. The value <9> only appears in one or more of squares R3C7, R3C8 and R3C9 of row 3. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 3 cannot contain this value.

R1C9 - removing <9> from <259> leaving <25>

Intersection of row 7 with block 9. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R7C7, R7C8 and R7C9 of row 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 9. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 9 cannot contain this value.

R9C7 - removing <2> from <269> leaving <69>

R7C7 is the only square in column 7 that can be <2>

Squares R2C8<27>, R4C8<79> and R6C8<279> in column 8 form a comprehensive naked triplet. These 3 squares can only contain the 3 possibilities <279>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R8C8 - removing <9> from <169> leaving <16>

Intersection of row 8 with block 8. The values <59> only appears in one or more of squares R8C4, R8C5 and R8C6 of row 8. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 8. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 8 cannot contain these values.

R9C4 - removing <9> from <2679> leaving <267>

R9C6 - removing <9> from <29> leaving <2>

Intersection of column 8 with block 6. The value <9> only appears in one or more of squares R4C8, R5C8 and R6C8 of column 8. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 6. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 6 cannot contain this value.

R6C9 - removing <9> from <279> leaving <27>

Squares R4C2, R4C8, R6C2 and R6C8 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <79>.
