AMP sites still look better. I am using this simple extension that shows me when a website has AMP version and I switch to it (not sure if there is an extension that does this automatically). Doesn't work 100% though https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/amplifier-ampcanonical-sw/ennckgigejppolagdoadgaaodkhopjnb/related?hl=cs https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/amplifier-ampcanon... edit: oh, this one seems to do it automatically.

  The problem that the tech to make any page look like an amp page existed long before amp. But Google, rather than heavily penalising heavy websites decided to push AMP. They could have just pushed for normal HTML but no, now everybody has to write two versions of the pages. (Granted, à cms can handle generating AMP alongside RSS and so on)

    Yeah, everyone can do non-bloated websites that load fast and look good, but nobody does. Market doesn't value those? I don't know. AMP is a good idea, unfortunately it needs strong actors like Google or Twitter to push it.

  Try the AMP Browser for Windows (http://ampbrowser.com http://ampbrowser.com) or the AMP Browser Extension for Chrome (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/amp-browser-extension/mccnchmofleakpdohkmljohfckgpdehb https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/amp-browser-extens...) for automatically loading AMP HTML pages, blocking ads and using Data Compression Proxy.

But then you have to suffer the UI of Firefox for Android.

  I only use Firefox for Android in my case, I like their UI personally.
  - ferongr 9y ago
    I'm left-handed and I can't switch tabs without using a second hand with Fx for Android. The UI also lacks polish in many places and looks really outdated and alien.
    - realusername 9y ago
      Ah yes of course for left-handed people it's maybe a problem, I did not consider that...
