Hover over a video and a three dot menu button should appear next to the name of the video. Click that and then select 'Not Interested', it'll remove the video and replace it with a link "Tell us Why" select that and you will get a few choices that will start influencing what it suggests.
For example my suggestions currently include some video about wolves I don't care about. After I click not interested and hit the tell us why link the following pops up;
At the bottom you can see the offending video you did watch at some point that is influencing your suggestions, tick the box next to it and it should stop suggesting wolf videos to me.

My note4 won't accept my Google account, this happens when I'm in a different time zone for over a week...
Yea I know, trust me I'm not tech stupid, this is just what happens.
While your phone still works fine, you can't use Google assistant or Google keep or calendar, timers, alarms, upload photos, shit like that.
The only way I can fix this is to factory reset, so if you really want to see all the shit you loose w/o Google, remove your Google account.
Oh and txt and phone and contacts are all gone, I have no idea who the fuck is calling.

Mine literally goes all the way up until the next pixel turns the cursor into a resizing arrow. Not sure why yours would be different.
Loving Vivaldi, been using it for the last few days, and no problems whatsoever. It also allows you to install Chrome extensions like Ublock Origin, so that's really nice. Only thing I haven't found (haven't looked too hard) is syncing between machines, you know with bookmarks and such.

This is what the tabs look like for me:
When the windows is maximized, I end up clicking the gap above the tab most of the time. Very minor thing, but annoying.

I was running Opera, trying Vivaldi now. Opera seems to have a mem leak, it would get sluggish and I would get mem warnings. But for all I know it because everyone and their mother is now tapping your browser to mine bitcoins. adding the extension to nerf that shit was first thing I put on Vivaldi.

Could potentially happen on any device that can run Javascript and hits one of these ads from coin-hive. uBlock Origin I believe should stomp all of these out by default now. Otherwise you can add a third party list of coin miners such as this (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hoshsadiq/adblock-nocoin-list/master/nocoin.txt).
Unfortunately on your phone you can't install Extensions in Chrome so you'll have to use an alternative browser like Firefox and load up uBlock or a specific coin miner blocker extension that way. Could also block specific coin mining website urls via editing hosts file if you have Root, or use something like DNS66 on Android to use a local virtual VPN to filter your hosts file without Root (and then add coin miner URLs to it).
Huge pain in the ass though because any site could potentially eat up 100% CPU if they served up an ad that points to these coin miners.
