R3C3 is the only square in row 3 that can be <8>

R3C2 is the only square in row 3 that can be <2>

R9C8 is the only square in row 9 that can be <2>

R9C9 is the only square in row 9 that can be <4>

Squares R2C6 and R2C9 in row 2 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <59>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R2C1 - removing <9> from <469> leaving <46>

R2C7 - removing <5> from <456> leaving <46>

Squares R4C8 and R5C8 in column 8 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <47>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R3C8 - removing <47> from <4679> leaving <69>

R7C8 - removing <7> from <679> leaving <69>

Squares R3C4 and R3C8 in row 3 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <69>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R3C1 - removing <69> from <4679> leaving <47>

R3C5 - removing <69> from <569> leaving <5>

R3C7 - removing <6> from <4567> leaving <457>

R5C7 - removing <47> from <2347> leaving <23>

R6C7 - removing <7> from <2378> leaving <238>

R6C9 - removing <7> from <78> leaving <8>

Squares R7C9 and R8C9 in block 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 block.

R7C7 - removing <7> from <578> leaving <58>

R8C7 - removing <7> from <578> leaving <58>

Intersection of row 4 with block 5. The values <38> only appears in one or more of squares R4C4, R4C5 and R4C6 of row 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 5. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 5 cannot contain these values.
