I went through the thread. But nowhere I found any help to my problem. I just tried installing a couple of apps mentioned in the beginning of the thread, which gave no result to my problem. Also I don't find that a problem solver thread. Anyway I would like to get my unique problem solved.
Thank you
Thank you

Hey curios it's cool you aren't invisible 
Have you ran an ad network detector app to see what app caused the problem?
If you don't mind losing your bookmarks you could try finding your browser in phone settings, apps, and "clear data"

First of all thanks for your support. I've installed ad network detector app and it didn't reveal anything desired. I checked each one specifically (14 problems). In no case it's shown that this app causes ads in my browser rather it's mentioned that "the app is capable of displaying in app ads" , which i mean the apps in which ads are displayed.

It's probably a result of some app you installed. Make links for, then uninstall a quarter of them. If the ads stop, it's one of those. If the ads don't stop, reinstall those apps and move on to the next quarter.
