There will be no obvious distinction between a search result and google's own website, even though the "portals" will be showing cryptographically signed content (which will almost certainly be in a super restricted AMP-esque format that denies sites much control besides what the text says)
If google swaps one result for another, 95% of users wont even notice.
Right so exactly the same way the search results page works today?
> The page results will be a tightly restricted iframe-esque window inside of google results
This is completely independent of AMP. Portals work for non-AMP content too.
> which will almost certainly be in a super restricted AMP-esque format that denies sites much control besides what the text says
So you're suggesting that Google will create a new, even more restricted than AMP protocol to be viewed on the search page?
> cryptographically verified to come from the original page
Elaborate.
