It seems like a good idea at face value, to speed up mobile page loading. And it seems even better because it's open source. But in reality this is yet another effort by Google to ensure that internet traffic is routed through their servers, which will - ultimately - enable them to track in yet greater amounts what you are looking at online. AMP is an awful idea if it is to be controlled by Google.

What is Google AMP?

The project AMP started in Google on 2015, and was realized in 2016 and increases speed of your browser while reading news resources on Android devices. AMP pages can be seen on news aggregators and are built with 3 core components: AMP HTML which is HTML with some restrictions for reliable performance, the AMP JavaScript library which ensures the fast rendering of AMP HTML pages and Google AMP Cache which can be used to serve cached AMP HTML pages. Source: https://www.ampproject.org/learn/about-how/ where you can select an overview on your native language. Learn who uses AMP worldwide, there are success stories of the domains publishing AMP pages: https://www.ampproject.org/case-studies/ Follow the project AMP on X: https://twitter.com/amphtml and watch more tutorials on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/TheAMPProject And here are some advices on how to make your pages amplified: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6340290 Last versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari and Opera do support the AMP open standart, Android 4.0 (stock Android Browser) and mobile Chrome 28 do it too, but both they cannot render pages correctly. The goal of project is that web pages can be opened on your mobile device up to 2x faster.
