- Changed my browser for Kiwi browser : very close to Chrome but with some neat features, one of them being to automatically redirect AMP links to original links
- deAMPify is a way to redirect AMP links from any other app than the browser
I really wish there was a way to opt-out of AMP as on iOS you're definitely SOL

I'm still against AMP on a conceptual ground, but it is so much faster and more reliable than traditional page loading on my phone. Pages can't have megabytes of JavaScript and huge images. It's served by Google's fast CDN instead of some far-away server.
Use firefox or brave. I solved this problem. I'm only waiting for a proper alternative to Android, I'm so tired of google and its swallow way of doing things...

Is it? I was under the impression that AMP is opt-in.
Opt in like HTTP/S was? Look what happened when Google decided to threaten the ad/ranking tap if websites refused to move to HTTPS.

AMP in part made me switch to Apple News - it's buggy and doesn't respect browser history (major usability failure on Google's part).
Did you like Google News content better? If not, why wasn't content quality a reason to switch before?

Who's being forced to use AMP? The user? Remember, the user is the product .
Basically, Google is penalizing webmasters who do NOT support AMP (also by rewarding competitors who DO support it); if you depend on Google search results for a significant portion of your traffic, not having AMP will impact your business.

There's an extension for this. Works on mobile (at least until Mozilla kills extensions on their mobile app) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/amp2html/
OMG! Why would Mozilla kill extensions on mobile (android)? It would make mobile unusable for me. In fact that's the reason I barely browse the internet on my iPad: Firefox never had add ons on iOS due to Apple restrictions. I hope that's just FUD!

because it's a useful MITM attack on the internet
After they took away peoples' ability to MITM their own stuff by forcing HTTPS everywhere under the guise of privacy.
