Why is it the only form? You can certainly run your own IRC or Jabber server or something. I don't understand why you think only email can be run top to bottom. Unfortunately email became stupid a long time ago. Partly thanks to braindead clients like Outhouse and partly thanks to Gmail. Remember when Gmail came out and they advertised "threads" as a feature? Yeah... we had threads before Outhouse et al. proliferated…

It's pretty confusing to refer to Microsoft Outlook as "Outhouse."

Oh I didn't realise you were the only person on HN who could work out what it means.

Google’s style is “develop, control, prioritize, monoplize”.

> Google’s style is “develop, control, prioritize, monoplize” “develop, control, prioritize, monoplize and sunset ”. Don't forget the last step.

Last is the only consistent though

And just yesterday I was searching for a way to get further away from AMP. For now, the only way is to always ask for the Desktop Site when I search. Unfortunately, iOS Safari doesn't allow me to set this per site and I have to do it manually every single time I search.

Use Firefox Mobile, Google hasn’t deployed AMP for that yet.

You can't really use a third party browser on iOS because Apple forces all links from their irreplaceable apps to open in Safari.

I wonder what this will do to third party conversion tracking. Email is a primary marketing channel for many businesses with Gmail as a primary email client of their audiences.

Ensure that the conversion tracking is done through google properties

Which is an absolutely massive advantage for them from an auction pricing standpoint (knowing more of what people are willing to pay), and competitive standpoint against the likes of Adobe and others.
