            1. So AMP units in mobile browser search page don't take you to a website (expected) but a Google-run shadow page.
              oh my god twitter doesn’t include alt text from images in their API

            Which, haha, breaks all capacity to use... say... sharing tools without storing a nonsense link, when they work properly at all.

          Notably, due to the way the Facebook mobile app handles caching and canonical links, this will make FB shares from AMP look real funny.

        Now you might say something like 'gee Aram, but FBIA does the same thing and you like that'....

      But the behavior I expect from a browser and app are not the same.

    Like, if we consider being defaulted to use a particular browser monopolistic, how about a browser defaulting to a different web?

      You can ask to go to Desktop mode, but you can't otherwise stop Google from LITERALLY HIJACKING your browser without asking or notifying you

        Enjoy thinking about the implications of that.

          Oh hey, I woke up and the fact that Google's AMP implementation breaks the implicit browser contract still pisses me off tremendously.

            If your operating system defaulting you to a non-standard browser without presenting you with a choice is monopolistic ...

              Then your Android Chrome browser defaulting you to a different webpage without presenting a choice is absolutely anti-competitive.

                Let's be clear: any behavior where your browser hijacks your destination intent for one URL to take you to a different URL should be illegal
