I generally trust the Brave folks, but have reservations about rewriting URLs becoming a new tool in their toolbox. DDG sounds like a promising alternative.

- spicybright 4y agoI'm sure it just changes the URL bar so you can see what happens. Regardless, it's already in their tool box because they make the browser. They could be re-writing urls and not showing you, if they wanted to. And as long as no one notices, you can keep doing it.
- go_prodev 4y agoGood point. It also sounds better to build it in than having a browser extension for it.
- mastazi 4y ago> DDG sounds like a promising alternative Unfortunately, switching to a different search engine does not prevent you from ever stepping onto AMP again. For example all links in the mobile version of Twitter used to be AMP until recently: https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/19/22791002/twitter-amp-ios-android https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/19/22791002/twitter-amp-ios...
- nocman 4y agoI suspect go_prodev is referring to the DDG app ( https://duckduckgo.com/app https://duckduckgo.com/app ) and not just the search engine. I only recently became aware that the app existed, so I don't know how/if it deals with all things AMP-based.
