For reportedly being there to accelerate the web, AMP pages remain consistently slower and less reliable than the original websites for me.
With amp I basically do "find the page, edit url to remove amp, load again" dance. It is definitely not faster.
AMP results are annoying enough on mobile that I switched my default search engine to duckduckgo on my phone.

I switched all my default search to DuckDuckGo a few months ago because of stuff like this. No regrets here. If you haven't tried it recently, give it a shot. It's gotten tons better in the past few years. Once you get used to it, it's as good as Google search.

This is pretty much what we've been saying would happen since the day AMP was fire presented to the public. I really hope this AMP thing never becomes anything mainstream, it's an atrocious attempt at monopolizing the internet as a whole.
The original URL is provided by the Share button on the right. But it's not a link. (To visit it, you'd have to copy and paste back into the browser. You can't share a link to the app you are shared from )
So the URL is available as always, but the link is not.
