Really? The main comment I've heard about it (when people mention it at all) is that it messes up the URL. I doubt most people notice anything changed.
- ggggtez 8y agoYou are probably overestimating how much people look at the URL outside of tech circles. As long as the page loads fast, I doubt many people particularly care about the URL bar.
- drb91 8y agoHow do you share the page with someone then?
- mixedCase 8y agoYou copy and paste the nerd character soup at the top of the Google firechrome
- endorphone 8y agoWhen you share a page it shares the canonical URL. When you open it in an external browser it opens the canonical URL.
- drb91 8y ago> When you share a page it shares the canonical URL. By what mechanism? Because copying the URL from the bar does not copy the correct URL, it copies the AMP url.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoProbably by the "Share" button in your browser, which is yet another perversion that the mobile ecosystem introduced.
- j16sdiz 8y agoMobile Chrome do that when you copy the URL.
- endorphone 8y agohttps://www.ampproject.org/latest/blog/improving-urls-for-amp-pages/ https://www.ampproject.org/latest/blog/improving-urls-for-am... This was fixed at the beginning of this year. Now what canonical URL the publisher uses is up to them. Another comment said that relative links are all messed up o n the Reddit AMP version. That's Reddit doing it wrong.
- technion 8y agoI frequently see Reddit posts with an AMP URL that then goes on to render terribly in a full screen browser.
- Torn 8y agoRelative links on reddit (e.g. to other posts, or subreddits) on their AMP pages are also completely broken. Such a frustrating experience for users.
- diminoten 8y agoI personally love how fast and responsive the experience is. I would be fine if the sites were also that fast and responsive, but since they're not always, I'm glad Google stepped in and ensured they would be for me.
- baby 8y agoI’m always amazed at how fast to load AMP pages are. I for one see the benefits.
