Tap shields icon in address bar, tap “advanced” and set your defaults.

Doing this only do it for that specific site you’re currently on. It has no access to global settings like the desktop version.

Then ad a feature request for it to be added to the mobile version, maybe more people want it to.

Allow setting Global Shield Defaults for Android

Currently, you cant set the global shield defaults on Android. So if you want to block cross-site tracking, you have to do it for every site you visit. Which makes it too late already since those trackers are activated before you block them. Also, you can do this on desktop version, why not in mobile too?
