This!
I'd be very happy with a fixed, lower tier of web standard that is easy to implement against. It should contain enough standards to build attractive, solid (eg) online banking interfaces, blogs and news sites, commenting etc. In other words, a minimum for media consumption, rather than apps.
- jefftk 8y agoBuilding a browser that supported only AMP would be one way to do this and have a significant number of pages you could handle. (Disclosure: I work for Google on AMP ads. I also know how much people here dislike AMP, so this is not entirely serious.)
- hkt 8y agoNot actually a terrible idea if it can be done without tracking. Thank you for disclosing. I'd quite like an RSS+reader view browser. At a guess, RSS+reader view+AMP could cover pretty substantial amounts of existing content.
- jefftk 8y agoIt could be done entirely without external requests: the browser would be an amp interpreter, no need for the amp js as all. The hardest part is that amp probably isn't restrictive enough: you can still use a very large subset of HTML and CSS.
