Having both Beta and Stable versions is indeed very confusing, and I'd like to repurpose this issue and see if we can do anything to detect that and provide user with better UX.

Initial idea:

  • detect we are running a Beta version, and then try to ping Stable version via onConnectExternal & onMessageExternal
  • if Stable version is present, Beta version should not start, but open a static page in a new tab informing user that they need to uninstall Stable if they want to use Beta.

@olizilla Thoughts?
