I install firefox + ublock origin + https everywhere whenever I can weather it's friends, family or colleagues. After a bit of explanation they usually understand the matter. It's all about user education.

I have had zero "relapses" back to safari or chrome so far, they all seem to like browsing without ads and tracking.

Indeed. It only takes about 45 seconds to remove almost all ads from someone's online experience. Not getting ads on youtube is by itself a game changer for alot of people. Many people happily pay for blessings from monks and priests that take about the same time, except this actually improves lives in a concrete way and is free. Spread the gospel of FOSS
