Also, I'm pretty sure it's not possible to install any other browser on iPhones unless you get root.

Edit: It looks like you can with iOS 15.0

As I understand it, any browser on iPhone has to be built on WebKit, so even if you install fire fox or chrome, it’s running on a totally different web engine than the desktop version. Making them more safari re-skins in the same way that stuff like brave or opera are just chrome reskins.

I’ve had iPhone for years and I can’t remember the last time I didn’t use chrome with it

Never rooted my phones either. It’s definitely not blocked

Those are all just skins on safari. Until like 6 months ago you couldn't install any web browser with a renderer other than safari. And that's only in the EU.
