It got annoying enough for me to switch my search to bing.com everywhere, including Google's own browser. My two main complaints: 1. Once I am on AMP page, most of the time I want to click around the site and I cannot do that - feels like a cage. 2. URL obfuscates the site name and article title (not completely, but definitely adds visual noise)
- __jal 10y ago2a) I want to get to the site, not another Google property. Penalize my search listing all you like, but none of my stuff will be hosted elsewhere. I thought publishers learned their lessons here - use someone else's printing press, and ultimately, they control what's printed.
- sjcsjc 10y agoAgree. I did exactly this a couple of days ago when trying to get the URL of a BBC news article. I had never used bing before that.
- the_watcher 10y agoThe lack of navigation within the AMP site is the reason I avoid clicking an AMP link if at all possible
- x1798DE 10y agoI don't think I've ever seen an AMP page on a google search result, so either I'm searching for very different things than you are, or there's some browser configuration that doesn't show tons of AMP sites on Google. I usually browse with JS off (though I think not on Google) and the standard suite of privacy apps - uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, etc, and I usually use the version of Google with Instant disabled. Maybe that helps.
