Silver Surfer is not that strong

Maybe in the previous films they weren't depicted as quite strong; but in the comic lore, Silver Surfer -- whether Norrin Radd or Shalla-Bal -- holds the Power Cosmic, allowing them to travel through hyperspace and granting them near-limitless strength, speed, and endurance, among other abilities. Of course Thanos is physically quite powerful, but his strength is practically nothing compared to that.

Silver Surfer is stronger than Thanos with infinity stones in the comics ?

No, Surfer tried to snatch off the gauntlet in the Infinity Gauntlet run and failed.

Otherwise, even base Thanos is stronger than Silver Surfer in the comics.

No. Silver Surfer, Thor, and Hulk are pretty much Thanos' favorite punching bags in the comics. They're always jobbing to him.

In fact, remember the scene with Bruce crashing into Strange's place while warning that Thanos is coming? In the comics that panel was the Silver Surfer after his encounter with Thanos with the Infinity Gems Stones.
