You won't see AMP if you switch search engines.
- jdgoesmarching 8y agoJust this morning I got pissed off by an AMP page and was considering a search engine switch. Maybe this is my sign.
- maxwell 8y agoAMP was what made me abandon Google Search in January 2018 for DuckDuckGo. Surprising how little I've noticed the change, after using Google Search for over 15 years. I try queries on google.com maybe once or twice a week if I don't find what I'm looking for on DDG. If it's anything media or product related, I feel like I'm on an old, crowded MySpace page. DDG feels more like the old Google.
- IgorPartola 8y agoYou convinced me. Switching now. Fuck this noise.
- m-p-3 8y agoYou can even tweak your DuckDuckGo settings (dark theme, etc) and save them in DuckDuckGo using a passphrase of your choice, which you can restore and keep them in sync across those devices.
- bo1024 8y agoUsing DuckDuckGo with a backup of !g (send search to google), I don't think I've ever hit an AMP page in search results in my life. Maybe because I only use !g for really technical searches.
- vanadium 8y ago!s takes you to Startpage, which, if you're trying to avoid Google, gets you where you want to go by proxy.
- dbbk 8y agoBing implements AMP, and there's nothing technically stopping other search engines from adding support. Also, links in the Twitter app default to AMP as well.
- IgorPartola 8y agoI wouldn't mind AMP as a feature as long as Google let me specify that I don't want it.
- josteink 8y agoGood for most people they use neither of those things then.
