 have included in the prototype two options for the same thing or are they
 supposed to show up at the same time or...?

 yes, two options for the same intent.

 > I am wondering whether we should just strongly encourage to restart
 after the slider level change or indeed require a restart before the new
 settings are applied. I am inclined to do the former as this feels more
 natural on that preference pane given that all the other options "go live"
 once the users selects them. But I don't feel too strongly about it.

 Agreed. The option a] is a typical pattern in Chrome70. It is great
 because the button pill shows up right close to the cursor pointer. The
 user attention is already there.
 The option b] is using a Firefox warning approach.

 a] downgrade, safest → safer

 b] downgrade, safest → safer

 Which one do you prefer?
