Just out of curiosity, what's wrong with Chrome and Amp?
- echelon 6y agoChrome and Amp are Google lock-in web killers. Google is pushing ahead in the browser space, ignoring standards committees. They're doing things that deepen their moat. Google made choices in HTML5 to make it less semantic, ensuring their search engine wins. Google is trying to remove the URL bar, which makes Google homepage and AOL-like keywords the dominant way to access information. It lowers awareness of brands and websites as 3rd party entities. AMP hosts content on Google's servers. You never actually access the original publisher's website. Guess how you get higher search rankings? I should compile a list sometime. It's actually quite astonishing how much they're eroding the commons to entrench themselves.
