They’re suggesting a web technology which would allow any website to host content for any other website, under the original site’s URL, as long as the bundle is signed by the original site. That could be quite interesting of a site like archive.org, as the url bar could show the original url.
But AMP is a much narrower technology, I’d imagine only Google would be able to impersonate other websites, essentially centralised as you say. The generic idea would just be a distraction to push AMP.
Everything would be so much better if the original websites were not so overloaded with trackers, ads and banners, then there would be no need for these “accelerated” versions.
- prepend 6y agoI think this is possible already, but should not override the displayed URL for the content. Create a new “original URL” field or something.
- a9h74j 6y agoI see where you are going, but what if my website is updated?Is the archive at address _myurl_ invalidated, or is there a new address where it can be found? I am thinking of reproducible URLs for academic references or qualified procedures, for example, which might or might not matter in the intended use case. Could there be net-neutrality-like questions in all this as well?
