BrandedLogoDesigns Reviews: Google returns original URLs in AMP

Google changes the URL ad to Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) after criticism from publishers. These had complained that Google taps their traffic.
With Google's Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) project, Internet browsing on mobile devices is to be accelerated by providing optimized versions of publisher websites that do not include third-party scripts or other extensions. So far, so good - but when forwarding AMP content, so far the AMP URL was visible in the address field, which could lead to confusion when sharing the article.
This is where Google is now following the critics of publishers, adding a new header under the URL line, which tells users which website the article comes from.
The feature allows users to share the displayed permalink over a long fingerprint on the new header.
The feature is already activated in the iOS Google app and is to be introduced in the coming weeks also for Android, according to Google in the developer blog.


In January 2017, Google had already screwed to AMP to make images and data load even faster.
