AMP stands for Accelerated Mobile Pages. Being extremely slow on desktop browsers with certain ad-blockers seems like an edge case of the least importance.
- JoshMnem 9y agoExtremely slow is an understatement. It's literally 8 seconds. Loading 3rd party JavaScript without restriction is extremely unsafe and not an edge case. It's basic Web-browsing safety.
- rockdiesel 9y agoIs it shitty and unsafe? Yes, I'm in agreement. But the focus of the project is on the mobile experience. Complaining about the lack of optimization on the desktop experience, with an ad-blocker to boot, for a mobile specific project is an edge case, in my opinion.
- JoshMnem 9y agoIf it makes the Web terrible for desktop users who block 3rd party JS from loading, then it's not an edge case, regardless of the name.
