AMP results are annoying enough on mobile that I switched my default search engine to duckduckgo on my phone.

What about the URL bar? For average non techie users, the URL bar isn't particularly helpful. They use page content. And AMP pages do show the original page domain name.
The URL bar is helpful to fighting phishing attacks. It's one of the things everyone at my company, including the non-technical people, is askedt to check before entering information. Also techie and non-techie people have been using the same browsers for how many decades now? Aren't the majority of people in many countries on the internet? It seems like the average non-techie users succeeded in figuring things out s…
It would have been nice if client side TLS certificates were more popular. Then your browser could warn you that you're not using your client cert when connecting to a certain website and not allow you to complete the connection.

What’s a good privacy-oriented, web-based email service? I’ve heard of ProtonMail but haven’t used it.
AMP really has to go away, its a MITM attack on the internet. Google discontinues so many services, why is AMP not one of them yet?
best and most succinct description that I've heard.
How does anyone think this is a good idea? It should be clear which news site I am reading when I'm reading an article. Otherwise, how do I know which bias to apply? On iOS, the title bar says "google.com" whether I'm reading an article from CNN.com or WashingtonExaminer.com. Of all the anti-competitive actions google has taken around search results, AMP is by far the worst. I hope they get smacked down for it in the…
The annoying thing is, average user will not notice and/or care.
I searched 'google amp', and I can't really understand what it's supposed to do?
Can anyone explain what problem AMP is supposed solve, or what features it brings to the table?
