Ironically the bing news page is several times faster to load than the google news page. The difference is more pronounced on mobile. I don't know why, but it's funny.

Why is that ironic?

  Because Google news is notorious for using and promoting amp links, and the entire point of that is to load fast. But they lose to a simple non-amp webpage.

    Google News itself is not an AMP page, nor does it promote AMP pages, as you claim. As I pointed out in my original comment, Bing also uses an AMP cache and sends users to AMP pages from the Bing app, which is why saying that anything different about them is ironic makes little sense.

In my original comment, I talked about AMP results in news searches on Google search, which do exist, just like in the Bing app. Those provide a better experience for me, and I suspect 99% of all users, than the AMP-less DDG results, which is why Google and Bing show them. > I am not talking about bing "app".

You've demonstrated an even poorer understanding of AMP than the person I originally responded to.

Not my experience. But also Google gets news just up faster. Next time something big happens in the world try Bing and Google and you will see a big difference.

Also, except breaking news, there is no difference I could find. Except that google news takes me to some annoying amp pages for some links.
