It would be nice if Google gave an option to disable AMP. I don’t have any philosophical objection to it, but too often it causes rendering glitches and other annoyances on my iPhone. It also makes it annoying to copy the link if I want to save it or forward it etc. The performance increase is from AMP is pretty marginal and not worth all the hassle for me.

- millstone 6y agoTo my knowledge, Google has never explained why they don't offer a setting here. Here's someone requesting a way, and getting smoke blown back instead: https://support.google.com/webmasters/forum/AAAA2Jdx3sU8ogdv04Cm-k/ https://support.google.com/webmasters/forum/AAAA2Jdx3sU8ogdv... I guess it's in Google's interest to force AMP.
- Mindwipe 6y agoI hope this might be the first step at least to Samsung Internet offering an extension to block all AMP sites, so I can at least stop seeing AMP sites ever, ever again.
- kall 6y agoquick tip: if you use the system share button to copy the url, you get the real one. You can also take advantage of this with an app like Opener to navigate to the real page in the cases where the amp site is in such a broken state that you cannot get to the fake browser bar.
