The open WWW is one of the greatest things that humans have achieved, and Google is in the process of destroying it. It looks like the goal is to replace the Web with their own product where ads and tracking can't be blocked, and fewer people leave Google's servers. This new replacement for the Web will only fully work in Google Chrome, because Google is abandoning true web standards with things like AMP and Portals. (Being forced to include Google's JavaScript in your web pages under threat of losing your traffic is not a real web standard.) The bulk of what is published online will have Google's visual branding (Material Design), and you might never leave Google's servers (as a user) or be able to fully control your own tech stack (as a publisher). AMP is a vicious attack on the open Web and a completely unethical power grab. This is why one company shouldn't control the browser, the search engine, and the operating system at the same time.
