Update build-wallets.md (w3f#4161)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
* Update build-wallets.md

These changes will help steer new entrants to the ecosystem away from the dreadful experience of using the polkadot.js extension as their substrate wallet. Treasury funded wallets were not endorsed, the W3F disclaimer is still there - it is merely noted that most community members prefer to use these wallets. Browser wallets were moved to the top of the table for relevancy.

* Update build-wallets.md

Removed the "prefer" wording

* revert wallet list order and minor rephrasing

* formatting fix
