The product is being forced to use AMP.


Is it? I was under the impression that AMP is opt-in.


It is for the website developer. But if a website offers the AMP page, the user cannot skip it


The user is the product. The user doesn't get a say in how the product works. Don't like it? Don't use the site.

Or, you know, ask the site to stop using Google.


Opt in like HTTP/S was? Look what happened when Google decided to threaten the ad/ranking tap if websites refused to move to HTTPS.


I don't think so. I personally don't use sites that don't have HTTPS. I don't have any interest whatsoever in making it easy for third parties to see my traffic.


I've recently started using this[0] setting and haven't noticed any limitation to my browsing experience.

Then you have chosen to exclude yourself from knowing a large chunk of interesting information that was posted on web sites before the web went fully corporate.


Another problem is that you can't even find those websites anymore. They're at the absolute bottom of search-engine rankings for whatever reason.
