Google Takes Its First Steps Toward Killing the URL
I’m against chrome taking always the URL. While they make points about security and dumb users, I don’t believe they have altruistic motives.An issue with AMP is the terrible URLs- because they are hosted by google. Once Chrome no longer has URLs, then Chrome gets to decide what name to show you in the address bar - potentially a name that has very little to do with the actual location of the document. Maybe I’m being a bit extreme or pessimistic, but do not believe this is a good change for the web, and I don’t think Google can be trusted to be the stewards of the internet.
