Except when you want the original link.
- dymk 9y agoEvery Google AMP link that I've clicked on has a button in the top right corner which displays the original link. It's very easy to copy from, and isn't hidden at all.
- MBCook 9y agoOh good! They fixed the problem that didn’t used to exist by adding additional steps, all for their benefit. And now they’re trying to get a new standard feature to let them lie about the URL to make it even easier! You know what worked well? 20+ years of the URL bar showing me the site I was trying to read without bikinis messing with it. Also, that was added later. Originally it wasn’t there at all.

It's not perfect, but it's better than what we had before.

- Lio 9y agoThis is not an engineering trade off. All mobile users are forced to use AMP. Google could allow opt out of AMP for all those who don't want it in their search results but they don't because they are trying to wall off and control a section of the web.
