It's easy to slag AMP because it's Google, and privacy-aware people really don't like Google and denounce all their actions without even thinking. But on the other hand: what if AMP is actually a good thing? Like if it speeds up the web and addresses web obesity, why not embrace it?

- robonerd 5y agoSo what if it saves me a few milliseconds of load time and megabyte or two of RAM? Maybe that has some value a shitty mobile connection, but such marginal gains are not worth conceding even more control of the web to Google. I'd rather websites take 10 minutes to load than have Google MITM my life.
- dogleash 5y agoYes, that's the carrot. Now look for the stick. >what if AMP is actually a good thing? People said this when AMP was first announced too. Good for people with lives comfortable enough to be so off-guard that this didn't set off any alarm bells; but businesses are not your friends. Thankfully with the benefit of time and hindsight the Texas Attorney General has documented some of the catches for us: https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/images/admin/2020/Press/20201216%20COMPLAINT_REDACTED.pdf https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/ima...
