Its probably an app acting up, boot on safe mode, if you don't experience the same problem then it is a third party app.

A lot of free apps are free because they are subsidised by ads more so in games

Are you downloading the apps from the play store? its not a Sony issue but the app developer.

It will be wise to do so

settings > apps > all > chrome > clear data and uninstall updates > restart your phone, if you get the same issues it is an app

Hi MervynXD,

Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

You could always try clearing the history from the Chrome Browser, this way there is no data available for the ads to pop up when using the browser.

Menu > Chrome > Menu > History > Clear Browsing Data > Tick all the boxes and clear them.

I hope this helps.
