Does this not make anyone else queasy? This is such a rabbit hole. Not to mention they list all these major companies on their homepage implying they're using AMP when it looks like the project only started early-mid summer. Seems a bit deceptive trying to oversell people into adopting it when they barely know if it works or wont be superseded shortly. Frustrating when big companies do this in open source.

It's standard web tech that renders in any browser, why is it queasy? This is basically asm.js-style "subset a spec and adhere to a convention and get better performance"

This works in mobile Safari and doesn't require updating any browsers.

It's really just best practices rolled into a kit.

I would much rather people just removed bloat from their websites.

Most newspapers are crammed with crud that provides zero value to me.
