There it is. Google is breaking the basic trust model of the web so their force-fed AMP platform is slightly less confusing for users.
People can't tell they're on the wrong page if the address bar lies to them. #web #webdev

CloudFlare also mentions the gray bar at the top of AMP pages from Google Search is going away, so it will be impossible to see the 'real' version of a page unless the site itself gives you a link.
Don't like the AMP page? Too bad, there's no way out! #web #webdev
This blew up, but it turns out I wrong on one point.
I thought the address bar would show the link to the non-AMP version, but it will actually show the site-hosted AMP version (so something like example.com/index-amp-version.html).
The address bar isn't lying, but there's still no easy way for people to access the real page. The point remains that people can still get stranded on an alternate version of the site with no comments or something. #web #webdev
