Wouldn't it be possible to create some kind of "post-browser" that takes input from the web browser and displays it after passing it through ad blockers and whatever else?

Such an abstraction, while unnecessary, should be possible, providing that Google doesn't forcibly prevent access to the final markup that coalesces (ie.: view source and web dev tools)

The only acceptable browser would obviously be ones that restrict that access, how else are they going to force people to see all their ads?

Perhaps, but it's not as simple as it sounds.

Most of the Web requires js to work. I don't think the js will work without the DRM.

So the proxy would need to be running the js, and emulate your clicks and so on.
