![]() ![]() Today, AMP continues to be a helpful way for websites and publishers–especially those without large development teams– to easily create great web experiences. “AMP is an open source framework that was collaboratively developed with publishers, tech companies, and Google as a way to help web content load faster–at the time it was created, it took 19 seconds on average to load a mobile webpage on a 3G connection. “These allegations are misleading, conflate a number of different web projects and standards, and repeat a number of false claims,” a Google spokesperson said in a statement. In a statement, Google said it disagreed with the “allegations” put forward by the other companies. Both are open source (though only DuckDuckGo is hosted on F-Droid). Both work with accessibility-based autofill. ![]() In December, Google also introduced Bento, a component library that allows AMP components to be used within non-AMP pages. I'm left then to choose between one of the lighter, privacy-inclined chromium based options, namely Brave and DuckDuckGo. It is a privacy-oriented web browser which does not track user activities. ![]() The extra features are something else to think about. But DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser is a great choice if you want a no-nonsense mobile browser for a private browsing session right out of the box. Google, for its part, has slowly moved away from AMP to prioritize what it calls Web Stories. It is the latest browser which was launched in 2016. Brave is a good choice if you want a set of features to protect your privacy while you browse the web. Brave has also contested that Google’s AMP pages can load more slowly than other publishers’ pages. “AMP is one of many Google strategies to further monopolize the Web, and build a Web where users serve Google, instead of websites serving users,” Brave’s privacy manager, Shivan Sahib, and its senior director of privacy, Peter Snyder, have written.īrave’s Sahib and Snyder have also noted that users aren’t served well by AMP, either because the page is hosted by Google, users may become confused about what site they’re interacting with. Browser developers like Brave also point out that serving up AMP pages lets Google host the page, format it, and decide how to frame the story. ![]()
