I was glad they walked back on Dragonfly and (effectively) killed AMP.
In the process they did lose me as a user of their free products though. And they lost me as a developer, I no longer opt for building with their tools, including Chrome, Android, Angular, GCloud, etc.
- pengaru 5y ago> and (effectively) killed AMP err, what? I still regularly get AMP links from news.google.com

- tyingq 5y agoThe incentive to move to AMP is gone, since it's no longer needed to land in the carousel, but moving off of it is still a project/effort.
- sintaxi 5y agoAMP failed.
- nanidin 5y agoI switched to Duck Duck Go on mobile as a direct result of AMP. So not only did AMP fail, but Google lost most of the eyeball time they were getting from me and they're not getting it back any time soon.
- maxwell 5y agoYeah that was what made me switch to DDG from GSearch as well in late 2018. I use the terminal theme in DDG, and it's become the canonical SERP in my mind. When I do !g every now and then, it feels like GSearch has become AltaVista with a dash of MySpace.
