> yet we still see the same awful JS-heavy applications.

Isn't Google's AMP just a bunch of Javascript too? So even their "fix" is just perpetuating the issue

I fucking hate AMP so much. Wish someone ended it

I don't like the idea of AMP, and I was really concerned when I first heard about it.

However, ::knock on wood::, I don't seem to have encountered it that much.

Maybe it's because of how I browse, and that I don't follow "football" news, but I almost never see the URL in my browser, nor links to it anywhere.

How do people typically come across AMP content?

I came across AMP regularly from Google search on mobile. I switched to Firefox on Android and DuckDuckGo and haven't noticed it since. Not why I switched, but a nice side effect.

Ah! Thank you for pointing this out. You just cleared something up for me.

I use Firefox on my mobile and I always wondered why people keep complaining about Amp, since I never see it.
