I think Apollo developer has creat.... oh damn, I’m so bad with sarcasm.
Awesome update on Apollo 1.11, eagerly waiting for the Apollo 2 with iPadOS redesing.
+1 for please don't fix AMP. It's annoying and offers no benefits at all.

AMP is bloody horrific, breaks pages, links and layouts. Don't you dare fix this bug.
You can find the spoiler button on the toolbar of the text box. Or just use [ISPOILER ] [/ISPOILER]
There’s a new app that utilizes there Safari extension feature in iOS 15 called Amplosion that does exactly that, and it works wonderfully!
Amplosion: Redirect AMP Links
Amplosion automagically redirects AMP pages/links to their normal counterparts within Safari using an easy and elegant Safari extension. Activating it is super simple with just a few taps in the Settings app (full walkthrough in-app), and then you're good to go. Amplosion will automatically...

yeh, I’ve excised nearly every trace of googles services from my digital experience, but for the fact that Apple still inexplicably requires a non-apple email address to base your Apple account on, so my old unused 15yo gmail account still exists solely for that annoying purpose.
You just need to give permissions to the extension. The app doesn't have to stay open.
My account only has my @me, nothing else. It’s possible! I think you need to make an iCloud address, set it as the primary on appleid.apple.com, and then you can remove the secondary gmail. I believe you also need two factor enabled to not have a secondary email on file
The AMP spec is pretty straightforward, and having the link to the canonical (AKA normal) webpage in the HTML is a key part of the spec so that it can be found if need be (by Google, screen readers, to allow users to go to it manually, etc.) it would break a lot of websites and likely AMP in general if they changed something like that, so I don't think there's anything to worry about there.
You can close it! Force quit if if you want.
The app does nothing really, just is a viewer for the stats that the Safari extension creates, and has a fun dog. And even if you force quit it to be clear the stats will still be ready for you the next time you launch it. The extension is separate and just runs for a second on page load in Safari to bring you to the correct page.Thanks, I can't wait to show it to you.
Too bad. I’d love it if AMP was taken out back and shot.

Same. I would still use Google if they offered a “don’t use amp” toggle in my account pages (or any other way to opt out of amp), but they never did… So now, I only use DDG and it’s pretty good for me. I’ll never come back.
Please how?? AMP thing is one of the most stupidest things ever, don't like it at all, and also any page viewed on AMP won't go to history, pain.
The extension “StopTheMadness” does this among other things
Just use StopTheMadness, it allows you to block AMP, redirects, autoplay, select text on all sites, and a whole lot more. It's the best new iOS 15 extension, it basically fixes all iOS specific browsing annoyances.
I hope they do. AMP is horrible. Just let it die.
A bug in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 is preventing Safari from loading AMP links for Google search results, but the issue is not intentional and Google is preparing a fix that's set to be released in the near future.
Developer Jeff Johnson today published a blog post speculating on whether Google had intentionally disabled AMP links for Google search results in Safari on devices running iOS 15 (via MacStories) after he noticed their disappearance.
As he noted, Safari's Google search results do not include AMP links on devices running iOS 15, but AMP content still loads in iOS 14 and in other browsers like Chrome for iOS. Johnson wondered whether Google had decided to disable AMP in iOS 15 due to the prevalence of Safari extensions that feature AMP-blocking features.
That Google search results do not include AMP links in the Safari browser on iOS 15 is a bug, according to Google's public search liaison Danny Sullivan. In a tweet, Sullivan said that Google is working on a fix and that the issue should be resolved soon.
For those unfamiliar with AMP, it stands for "Accelerated Mobile Pages" and it is a feature that's designed to make webpages load faster on mobile devices. AMP pages are cached, allowing them to be presented to users more quickly, but it's something that is not always popular with users because some website features are disabled when AMP is used.
When Google does re-implement AMP links, iOS 15 Safari extensions like Amplosion are available to redirect AMP links to standard webpages.

Bug? I'd say that's a feature.
You just replied to the developer of that app.There’s a new app that utilizes there Safari extension feature in iOS 15 called Amplosion that does exactly that, and it works wonderfully!

i came to help you both know about Amplosion
and then i saw who wrote the first comment. heh
but yes, to anyone else, Amplosion is a safari extension for iOS/macOS 15 that will redirect AMP links.
AMP is a plague on the open web. As a web developer and designer, we’ve basically been forced by SEO to utilize AMP on some of our sites. Google is using their monopoly here to push their privacy invading garbage. I can’t stand it. It can introduce a ton of bugs and glitchy behavior into sites as well.
Correction: iOS 15 corrects bug of websites opening up in Google AMP
