There's no chance I would be able to recommend some Waterfox or Iceweasel to family or friends. Current status is Chrome or Firefox, and there's a long long way ahead for anything else to become relevant. Death of Firefox would mean immediate death of all the forks too.
Browser is such a critical piece of software that it has to be established, with a large and accomplished dev team. Which practically means a budget in the millions at least.
Anything smaller I could use myself, but would absolutely never recommend to others. As I said, current mainstream enough options are only Firefox or Chrome.
