Bug Description
Lately the Gmail web app advertises its Android version on startup, with a button to tap for installing that app. This obviously won't work on Ubuntu Touch, and it seems counter-productive to advertise a competing platform. Is there any way this page can be bypassed by default?
Screenshot attached, showing what happens the first time the app runs.

It is a cat & mouse game, and here the cat is big and does ads placement
for a living...
We can add a patch that tries to detect that. It will last what it will,
until the next ad campaign.
