On Android I love using Firefox Focus, which blocks ads and analytics trackers. It's my default browser, although I still use Chrome when I want the logged-in experience.

What are the chances that Apple would allow me to change the default browser on iOS?

That’s not a complete solution. Any app with a built in web view will still use Chrome and still not support ad blocking. An app that uses the Safari View Controller as a built in web view (like my RSS reader and all of the built in apps), will still support content blockers and use the same set of cookies as the main browser. The apps do not have access to your web session like they do in a traditional web view.
