What's so bad about AMP? If anything, it makes many news sites more "readable", less junk and distraction. Walled garden? Yes, but so is Apple ecosystem, which is this extension for.

Firefox had amazing support for mobile plugins. I haven’t checked in a while though. I assume Apple doesn’t permit this so you’re kinda limited with an iDevice. (he says from his iPhone)
Firefox still supports mobile plugins but, a while ago (IIRC last year), the plugin API changed, as a result currently the selection of available plugins is much smaller than it used to be. I should add that I haven't checked in a few months, maybe it's improved now.

I would happily pay for an Open Source adblocker-style extension that intentionally breaks "do you want to download and install our app instead of using a perfectly reasonable web browser that you're in control of" pop-ups. If I don't already have the app installed, there's a reason for that. (In general, an adblocker is one of the most valuable things I have installed. I wish EasyList had a subscription option; I'd…
Not always the case. Sometimes I'm looking for something and come across a link to a reddit thread. I'd like to jump to the app easily. What I don't like, however, is how hard websites try to block you from accessing their website without opening the app first.
Super super super super stupid. Like why block /r/popular from the web and force it to use the app?
You can accomplish this for free by simply switching your search engine to DuckDuckGo instead of Google.
I’d pay a good deal of money to have early 2010 style Google back. Mainly: - No AMP - If I quote a string, you better be goddamn sure it’s present on the pages that you show me. - One ad per query. These days the organic results are after the page fold. This is unacceptable for something that’s supposed to be a search engine. —- The second one gets little attention but it’s infuriating to me. I mean, I’m explicitly t…
By verbatim I assume you mean quoting a string. Example query using that that you consider unsatisfactory?
I don't have an example query, but it happens all the time. I put a query in quotes and google gives results that neither have the quote in the page blurb on google nor on the destination page.

I think you are describing DDG.

That’s my list anyway.

It's like they both just want to add something to the results, instead of saying "can't find anything else".
