I've been having the same shocking experience. I don't remember seeing ads in the preview browser on Boost for Reddit but I've been using Connect for lemmy and it's overwhelming.
I always press the buttons on top, go to default browser. Which probably is firefox with ublock origin.
I like using the preview browser because then I don't wind up with a bunch of tabs in Firefox
I'm not a developer but when I looked into it, my understanding was that there's two ways to add a preview browser - one that's an embedded chrome window and another that uses your default browser. I could be wrong though
I think you are correct, in some apps the page doesnt have to reload and it blocks ads
