The entire page loads faster than most "AJAX" interactions on full-fat Gmail. Plus it doesn't use more memory than my first three Web-connected computers had combined, for a single tab.
Only way Gmail's tolerable.
Their worst version isn't full-fat Gmail, though, but their lite mobile version. They've done something idiotic with touch & scrolling on there that causes "stop the scroll" touches to register as taps on elements, making it damn near unusable. You fling-to-scroll, tap-and-hold to stop, but it takes the tap-and-hold as a touch on whatever's under your finger. Also triggers tap-events it when you're making multiple scrolling swipes. I dunno what it is about Google and fucking up mobile web interfaces for no reason. AMP pages also had inexplicable make-scrolling-shitty code in them, which was part of why I hated them. Why put in more work to make mobile suck? It makes no sense.
- lern_too_spel 5y agoAMP scrolling was broken on iOS because of an iframe scrolling bug in Safari that, like any Safari bug, wasn't fixed for ages. I never experienced any issues on Firefox or Chrome on Android. https://medium.com/@dvoytenko/amp-ios-scrolling-redo-2-the-shadow-wrapper-approach-experimental-3362ed3c2fa2 https://medium.com/@dvoytenko/amp-ios-scrolling-redo-2-the-s...
