Comment:

 Based on what we talked last week, I made two options to handle this
 issue.

 1. Dialog Box - https://www.material.io/design/components/dialogs.html

 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/30540/1.png

 hellais suggested to do it in two steps by first asking users if they are
 developers and if they reply NO, then recommend them to download the
 stable app. I approached this version to solve this with one step. In this
 way, when users click [download stable], we open the Tor Browser stable
 download page.

 2. First Screen

 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/30540/2.png

 If we consider that we should block the entire screen for this action, we
 could use a full-screen option. It should show before the onboarding on
 new users and one/two times on recurrent users.


 We should update the description at Google Play too, so we don't have new
 users downloading the Alpha version by error. It is most urgent, imo. I'm
 adding steph because we need wording for this.

 Also, Google Play calls developer versions as `Beta`. Should we attach to
 gplay standards and replace `Alpha` for `Beta` in mobiles?

 We need a funnel for this and define which releases will contain this
 prompt. Also, what is the % of users we expect to move? Will we remove the
 prompt once we achieve it?

 If we succeed on the moving, users will still have two versions of TBA
 installed in their devices. Can we do something to prevent users to
 successfully download the stable app but still use the alpha one as
 default?
