How to solve Google Chromes Media upload error. 'unfortunately, Chrome has stopped' error.

This is a solution to Google Chrome's 'unfortunately, chrome has stopped' error when trying to upload image to steemit.

I have recently tried to write a steemit post from an Android phone and got stuck trying to upload an image to the post by Chrome's Android browser. The error message below

While searching the web (through Google) for solutions, I got to understand it is a known problem with the latest Google Chrome Android browser. Uploading a media file almost always shows that error.

It is an annoying problem no doubt because a lot of us don't have the luxury of writing from a PC.

I then continued my search for solution. Got some complicated, long ones and likewise shorter methods.

The following are two solutions I got, which I believe are the easiest from among the ones I saw online.
