So instead of waiting till 96% of all users change browser brand, you
want these poor people to find and change a default browser setting that
affects all web pages just for the sake of correcting Wikipedia design
decisions.

Maybe we can discard all Wikipedias except the English one, if a user
really wants to read stuff in another language he can use Bable Fish. My
point: you'll have to design for the actual world, not the world as you
would like it be.
