Instead of using the Google mobile pages tool, users of the privacy search engine will be redirected straight from the websites of the publisher they are attempting to read. The privacy-focused search engine, which offers its services as an alternative to Google search, announced that it is now "protecting" its users from AMP.ĭuckDuckGo assured its users that both its app, which includes its clients for Android, iOS, and Mac, as well as its extensions for both Google Chrome and Firefox, now bypass Google AMP. That said, both DuckDuckGo and Brave, which are primarily focused on one thing - privacy, are now bypassing Google AMP, the publishing framework of the tech giant.Īs per a news story by The Register, the two privacy focused services, Brave and DuckDuckGo, are now unplugging Google's AMP, redirecting their users to the original webpage of the sites they are visiting.
In any case, it looks like some concrete steps are being taken against Google's AMP and it remains to be seen how Google will react to this.(Photo : GABRIEL BOUYS/AFP via Getty Images)Ī guest takes a selfie with her smartphone during the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Madrid on April 8, 2021. It will then take users to the true version of the page instead.ĭuckDuckGo has not specified how its anti-AMP feature will work, though we can expect it to employ similar methods for the functionality. In addition, Brave also plans to introduce a third way to block AMP, wherein it will extend its existing "debouncing feature" to detect when AMP URLs are about to be visited. In case it spots an AMP page being loaded, Brave's De-AMP will "stop loading the current page and instead load the “true” version of the page," before the page is rendered. Second, the Brave browser will also check for AMP-ified code on web pages.
One, it will modify fetched pages, like those from Google Search, to point the users to the original publisher's webpage and not the Google AMP one. Brave, in its blog, specifies that its De-AMP will be enabled by default across its versions.
