> AMP is a standard.
That's news to me. Can you link to a standards body recognizing AMP as a standard? Or did you simply mean "standard" as in an advertising company dumping some self-serving specs on some website?
- d4l3k 9y agoGuess specification might be a less controversial term. Just saying that it's strictly defined, and easier to implement alternate native renderers for (eg Safari's reader) than raw HTML.
- josteink 9y agoSo is RSS and that's an actual standard. But how many non-HTML formats should a browser really need to support? And why should we accept that big companies can shove non-standards down our throats on public internet?
- Spivak 9y agoI don't think we should just accept it but the reason is because Google effectively controls the web. If Google implementes a feature then either everyone else follows suit or loses another user to Chrome. No other company has that kind of leverage.
