Too many adverts on phone

Thanks, though I have been told that even some of the ad blockers bring with them their own ads. It's making my phone very, very slow. It's not just adverts, but I get messages about someone looking at my phone in India and getting my data, which I don't believe, but it's quite disconcerting!

It seems like my phone has been taken over by a gremlin! I can't look at any website, app or email without contstanly being interrupted by ads and warnings for ad blockers. It's taken ages just to type this message. I asked for help in a phone shop, and was advised to remove 2 word games, as they can be linked to these adverts. I tried it for a day, but it seemed to make little difference. I've removed several apps that I didn't use or need, and am only left with the ones I use regularly. Any suggestions?
