AMP is also textbook anti-competitive practices. Google to publishers: use AMP (tech we control) or don't show up in the search carousel.

Google controls which web components an AMP user is allowed to use, effectively hijacking the standards process for this HTML dialect.
-
This affects me as a person who builds tech for the web (AMP users can't use anything I build; I'm not Google), but also publishers:
-
Google also controls the web components that allow ads to appear at all in AMP content.
-
Ultimately, this means that via its search monopoly, Google has been able to build a new version of HTML that it controls directly.
-
AMP isn't a new version of HTML. It is a subset of HTML. Oh and without it surfers(me) are going to install ad blockers & skip slow sites.
-
It's not a subset of HTML. It has a whole bunch of new Google-controlled tags. https://www.ampproject.org/docs/reference/components … You can't make your own.
-
It is subset. Tags are implemented w standard JavaScript. If you could make your own tags, we'd be back to regular HTML and just as slow.
