Comment (by traumschule):

 Retreating from above ideas and replying to [ticket:14686 mikeperry]:
 > During the UX Sprint, several of the users found alternate download
 pages other than download-easy, and became confused. If you search for
 Tor, download Tor, or Tor Browser, you get one of the following links:
 >
 > https://www.torproject.org/download/download
 > https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en
 > https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html
 >
 > Each of these has a different flow for downloading Tor Browser, and all
 but download-easy caused users to stop and become confused. I personally
 think https://www.torproject.org/download/download should simply redirect
 to download-easy, and the
 https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en page should remove
 the matrix and either behave like download-easy, or its download button
 should take the user to download-easy.
 Are you also ok with redirecting download-easy to download? My idea is to
 create a css accordion as for the
 [https://github.com/torproject/webwml/pull/31 verifcation PR] getting rid
 of the broken JavaScript (#27540) and preserve existing anchors to not
 break possible user bookmarks.
 > We will still need some place to put installation instructions, and the
 alpha downloads, but those should be broken off into different pages that
 replace the outdated mess in
 https://www.torproject.org/docs/documentation.html.en.
 Created #27584.
