It does though.
But it doesn't. You said two levels deep, but what you just described isn't at all. AMP is the container with the list of articles, and back logically and rightfully exits the container. If you clicked a link in one of those stories, it uses entirely normal web behavior. But yes, swiping, a function added by amp, in a container provided by amp, using the list provided by amp, is a lateral move not a depth move.
It isn't that this one choice to hijack the back button
The carousel is an entirely unique construction to provide news, exactly like a hundred other options that use similar paradigms. This, and the "hijack the back button" thing invariably gets dragged into every AMP discussion, as if Google trying to provide a news service is undermining some random blog link.
- tyingq 9y agoWhat I described does happen. You're saying something else doesn't happen...something I never claimed. That's a weird way to argue a point. You get that the carousel existed before AMP, and didn't do any of this, right? No other page cache takes over the page like this. Digg died an early death, in part, by trying to do something similar. Taking over other people's pages...in their case an iframe. What about the [x] button on the AMP banner being a back button to Google? Is that not odd? Don't most users expect an [x] on a banner to kill the banner and leave you on the page? Like the EU cookie warnings?
