(3) I would*really* like to have 2--maybe 3--browsers to list. There's zero reason to make users think there's only one option when there's a couple of valid ones.
I would love that too. Imagine that we do take the step and start promoting Firefox "alone" to legacy users. I "suspect" the first reaction of a user who doesn't take the time to realise we're promoting an open-source movement while trying to help them get rid of their legacy browser to be,
"I thought Wikipedia doesn't show ads/promotions. Seems they have changed their motive of "Not showing ads for revenue"! May be they'll be showing more ads in the future. ARRRGGHHH!"
That might be a little over boasted, though! In order to avoid such reactions how about recommending Firefox in the pop-up/central notice and linking to a list of other good browsers to show we aren't promoting /advertising browsers. For the list of other browsers we could link to https://browsehappy.com

I guess browsehappy is at least open source.
