Google AMP Is a Threat to the Open Web

The title and article feels like hyperbole:

As user, I love AMP. It is much faster and lighter. God knows what javascript is running behind those websites that drives my CPU usage to 100%.

As a user, I hate AMP: it breaks links, it breaks browser behaviour on mobile

This is particularly noticable on iOS- AMP pages break iOS' standard page scrolling ballistics, for some reason. It makes them feel non-native in a particularly egregious way.

Wasn't this a safari bug?

In a sense: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14386292

However, it was AMP team's conscious decision to implement handling of AMP the way they did: divs with overflow, hiding links etc.

But to be fair, many pages break links and browser behaviour without AMP as well.

It's great that you love AMP. There were probably people who were happy with Ma Bell's phone service too. Monopolies usually deliver efficient service, at least for as long as they have to.
