Really? Seems obviously good for everyone on an expensive mobile connection. Just like old-Opera's low bandwidth mode that proxies all requests through their servers. Never heard much bitching about that, btw. Just praise.

It's kinda like an internet service that doesn't meter your WhatsApp data (very common here in Mexico): it's obviously useful to people, but it comes at an expensive price in the aggregate. Nobody really cares about the aggregate though.

If AMP is preloading content on search results pages, it's not good for your expensive connection, since you may not click through.

For the longest time AMP pages straight up would not load on my iPhone if I was on mobile data.

It seems to have resolved itself sometime in the last year, but I still have amp pages occasionally fail to load.

Even when they do load, any seconds they save me are murdered when I have to spend an infuriating few seconds trying to get my address bar back.

And I love how before, long pressing and copying the url from the faux-address bar amp gives would copy the URL.

Now it copies a garbage-ified google URL, for tracking no doubt.

Apple should murder AMP on iOS. Don’t let it hide my address bar, show hideous urls, generally make its life difficult, this garbage is to further Google's goals.

I’m not even one of these wanna-be Stallmanists complaining about Google domination, that ship has sailed, and I welcome our Alphabetical overlords. But AMP is just a garbage technology that ruins UX and it needs to die.

You must be confused. AMP doesn’t necessarily save any bandwidth, and it’s not hard to find sites where the amp version is actually heavier.
