this comment has nothing to do with the article. The author addresses that amp sucks and talks about getting similar functionality without people getting mad at google for being skynet. google isn't trying to replace dns or other core web tech just trying to make delivery lubricated which gets them so much hate. if a cdn introduced AMP it wouldn't be plagued by this phobia of over centralizing.



Good point. I should have described more clearly to make the link that AMP is Google unilaterally exerting more control over the web and making it less open.

If a CDN introduced this, they wouldn’t have the massive market position that Google does. So they’d have to either propose a standard and get adherents or just add it to the pile of stuff that isn’t used. Google is different because of their search dominance.

But I think this that Google is turning into more a controller who isn’t concerned with open standards. The keywords thing was just an example of how much AOL sucked when Google started up.
