  > What does this mean? You don't land on the original page. You land on a Google page. Even the URL says google.com. To get to the actual original page, you need to click on the tiny (i) in the corner. And even there the link is styled as non-clickable link. If you swipe, for example, you end up on the next Google property ^W^W that is a news item that Google displays on its own domain. And AMP may provably drive traffic away: https://kinsta.com/blog/disable-google-amp/ https://kinsta.com/blog/disable-google-amp/

Ads and analytics are still supported. > If you swipe, for example, you end up on the next Google property ^W^W that is a news item that Google displays on its own domain.
