  A long time ago (2017) I used the Android tPacketCapture app to
capture packets and the Android SharkReader app to analyze the packets.
But sadly my old URLs for these apps no longer work.

<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.taosoftware.android.packetcapture>
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lv.n3o.sharkreader>

  Perhaps a Google search will find other download locations or/and
alternative apps.

  And if one has a computer (Windows, Linux, macOS), Wireshark can be an
alternative for the SharkReader app

  Yes, that - changing URLs - has been my experience as well.

  A long, long time ago, I used 'URL Snooper' to find the actual
multimedia URLs used by the web-players.

'URL Snooper'
<http://www.donationcoder.com/software/mouser/popular-apps/url-snooper>

  The latest release is quite old (2017), but lists Windows 10 (I used
it on Windows 8.1).

I have the 'Google Teller' extension in Firefox and the 'Google Surveillance
Detector' extension in Vivaldi (Chrome Web Store), telling me that 'Google
monitors you in this domain'.
In the source code, 'googletag' is mentioned many times.
However, I must say that I am not an expert on this, so I can't say exactly
what's going on.

Well, google tracks almost every web page through their adverts and 
scripts. As far as knowing the station, that's... peculiar.

Use the extension NoScript with Firefox.

http://noscript.net/

Not recommended for beginners.

If you are listening in a fixed location, like I used to do with the
phone plugged into a hifi, then you can switch on developer mode, and
set it so it doesn't go into standby. You have to leave it connected to
the charger.

Also maybe check battery saving generally, and on the browser.

Not if there is no option for it in the browser.

You may use an app like Radio Garden or similar which allows to keep
running in the background.

Also, a well designed third party app might use less battery than the 
browser. Specially so if you are using the official page from the 
station, it will have dynamic adverts.
