No to mention it’s practically a dark pattern that they push on you. I hate how they’ll send me to AMP links and then the UX to get the original URL I wanted and not some abomination of a google amp URL is terrible and they purposefully make it as subtle as possible that you’re not on the actual domain or site that you wanted.

It feels like a benevolent phishing scheme.

The funny part is that when I tried the latest version on Chrome on Android 11 back in September, whenever I clicked on an AMP link, it would think Google's AMP domain was a phishing site.
