Nice points there! Any tips on how to strip out amp links if you’re trying to share a link from am amp site? I’ll still use Google search to quickly get a summary of an article, but often want to go to the original source or share a link to the original source. Some sites have a link to view the non-amp version, but most don’t. It’s annoying to have to try and strip out pieces of the address bar.
