>AMP isn't available on mobile firefox >it's Google's fault somehow Is this just begging for karma? There isn't even version or OS info. How is anyone going to actually discuss this other than just arguing blindly?

I created a new account to post this, so I have no interest in Karma. It was just something that I noticed when I switched from mobile Chrome to Firefox. You don't have to discuss this blindly, just pull your phone and test for yourself, it'll only take you 2 seconds. My phone has Android 8.0, Firefox Mobile 68.0

  I think his point is that Firefox should integrate with AMP. Now I’m not sure if Google puts obstacles in place to make this harder, but wasn’t AMP recently open sourced?

    Why? Is amp some sort of non standard js/html/css?

    AMP is built on Google's CDN, and the standard is controlled by Google for Google's own self interests. It being "open source" or not kind of misses the bigger picture. If Google had any interest in AMP being a web standard they would have sent the spec out, and helped fund a neutral org to run it.

This happens on every device I have Firefox Android installed on, since I started using Firefox on Android maybe 2 years ago, up until the current beta release today. As another commenter pointed out, it seems to work fine if you use a UA switcher to fake Chrome Android on google.com. Besides, AMP isn’t browser-specific. AMP pages render properly in Firefox when I tap AMP articles from the Google News app.

>AMP isn't available on mobile firefox Kind of a blessing in disguise. I still have an addon that redirect AMP pages to their original URLs. And to be honest, I switched to DDG and I don't miss anything really.
