    We don’t need AMP links on Lemmy. Please try to avoid them by posting links to the real article. We (mostly, I’d think) have ad blockers, so it won’t be a problem.

      Sorry for that, but I don’t actually understand what you mean…

      EDIT OK I’ve googled it and it seems to be a page that is sponsored by Google but I use Firefox and it worked fine with that - so is the problem that it doesn’t work with certain browsers?

        Not only sponsored, but owned by Google.

        AMP links are basically Google repackaging other people’s articles. It prevents the actual owner from getting a pageview and let’s Google track you more invasively.

    We were here before when Internet Explorer 6 was the dominant browser.

    It didn’t reduce the usage of IE. People just pick what they know in those screens.
