When I swipe right on my Pixel 2 to get to the Google Now news feed, any article I click on opens the AMP version.

It's great when I'm on the light rail going through areas with patchy cell signal, but when an article's share buttons are broken because it's the AMP version it's a pain to figure out how to navigate to the non-AMP version of the article.

A couple news sources (usually technical ones) thankfully put a link to the non-AMP version somewhere on the page, but IMHO this should be automatically done for every AMP link opened.

That is available in the standard markup, so it should maybe just be added to the UI (in the ellipsis menu probably).

AMP is not a standard. It's a proprietary thing.

An industry standard can be started by one company and doesn't even need to be open source. All that's required as that some people or companies agree to do it the same way.

That's not a standard, it's a common practice. It only becomes a standard when it gets documented and everyone interested in implementing it agrees to follow the document.

Unfortunately, the documentation doesn't need to be open source, and often isn't. (For example, in the building industry.)

Same with HIPPA. If a standard is required by law, access shouldn't be gated and the document should have the same copyright status as law.

AMP is not an industry standard either. At best it is a spec, and a seriously broken one at that.

I assume he means turning off AMP-related features in Google products. Like disabling Google search from opening AMP pages instead of actual sites.

Yes, I want to turn it off as a user of Google search.
