a simple method is to add the unholy url to /etc/host with ip set to 127.0.0.1
I use a proxy, Apart from ghostery, adbloc plus and privacy badger. So the above host entry takes care of android too.

Its done by MTNL as an ISP
My software website was breaking because of it.
Using https solved the problem for me.
All clients were using MTNL

Please check the site you are trying to load, I guess this happens only on those sites that are not on https. This is my guess. These advertisements are not embedded on the server side, but were injected along the way since the transmission is not encrypted. This behavior will disappear only when all websites run on https.
I sent a complaint to www.thehindu.com, when this happened, requesting them to convert to https.
Do you think it is because of MTNL? Did other ISPs also have experienced this problem?

I have had similar experience. The interesting thing though was that
I
didn't see the same behaviour with the same sites on other machines.
So,
I guess the reason had to be some extension that was installed. I
didn't
have the time & patience to check which one was the culprit, as the concerned browser installation had quite some extension installed. I just uninstalled & re-installed firefox and then didn't install any
of
the extension. Working fine now.
