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.
