Hard disagree. My tap water has a strong chlorine taste, I hate it. In my Brita pitcher, it's totally gone. Just tastes like water again.
It's the total opposite of "practically nothing", it does exactly what I bought it for -- effectiveness 100%.

I find it strange you're insisting filters don't work when one can tell from taste that they clearly do. And scientifically, activated carbon absorbs chlorine -- that's not a myth. So everything checks out.
Pitcher filters work for chlorine.
I think most people buy filter pitches to fix the taste of water. Not for health or safety reasons.
Similar issues exist in most 'older' US cities. I started becoming worried about my water filter efficacy after moving to downtown DC and learning that a significant portion of the municipal water supply's last mile piping contains lead, and that while the municipal water is safe at the source, water in DC housing is often heavily contaminated by lead and other compounds resulting from the use of extremely aged pipe infrastructure.
