I did the following: *** Surf to www.aliexpress.com (no popup and no way to search despite the fact that a search bar is shown.) *** Click on any product -- product will be displayed and popup pops up (hence the name), click the popup to remove it. Search bar now works. *** Click "reload tab"...the whole [beep] starts from the beginning. > > As soon as I login into Aliexpress the popup disappears -- now > > Aliexpress is satisfied, because tracking my searches is now > > personalized. > > > > If you can't find a way to target the overlay with uBlock Origin you > might try looking at https://greasyfork.org/en and using Greasemonkey. > Unfortunately all the premade scripts I could find were simple things > like pricing changes.

For your phone: Root it, install XPosed/XPosedInstaller, install XPrivacy, install Bootmanager, install PreventRunning, install AFWall -- and your phone is yours again. Buying XPrivacy is worth every cent (it is cheap!) and it can be bought directly by its developer Marcel Bokhorst via Mony transfer -- no need to feed Google again!
