I stopped using Google on iOS because of AMP. Recently started using it again and about to stop because it keeps asking me to log in. Just show me what I’m searching for!

@paul maybe Kagi is for you? I used to use DuckDuckGo but gave Kagi a try and i really like it.

@mkurz @paul +1 for Kagi.

sunset,

@paul agreed! Anyway to make it stop aside from trashing Google search?

dafzthomas,

@paul Been using DuckDuckGo for years now, Google feels odd to use due to the distractions around the search results.

@paul Perplexity.AI is a wonderful replacement.

@paul I want to switch to DDG or Brave but I feel like I’ll miss the local/maps results.

maxtappenden,

@paul Yah, it’s complete garbage. I stopped years ago.

jglemza,

@paul I’ve been paying for Kagi. I love it. Once you wrap your head around paying for search, it’s nice to not be the product. https://kagi.com/

vaxso,

@paul everyone is trying to push duckduckgo but it’s also doing its own version of amp with all the msn articles that are just articles from other websites that have been “amp”-ed. It’s so annoying.

@paul Absolutely! I keep trying duckduckgo, but kept coming back. However I've been quietly impressed by search.brave.com

@paul DuckDuckGo is your friend 😊

@paul it’s so awful. The search results have degraded so much of late too, just full of fake sites full of cloned data and SEO nonsense

breadandwater,

@paul I think AdGuard prevents that signin from showing up

CleatusFetus,

@paul I haven’t thought about AMP in years because of this extension https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amplosion-redirect-amp-links/id1585734696

Maybe worth a shot?

itswilltime,

@paul Login pop ups or app pop ups are are worst. Reddit in a browser is a particular nightmare as well.

TylersNewGroove,

@paul I recommend Amplosion! It’s a Safari extension that redirects you to the real site

sinky,

@paul I’m using Neeva and gave done for the last 6 months. Much prefer it. No ads and your privacy/details not sold.

rrgeorge,

@paul I did my best to remove google from my life years ago. But if AMP is you’re biggest concern, @christianselig made Amplosion to deAMPify stuff.

@rrgeorge @paul @christianselig I will second this. Amplosion is fantastic.

christianselig,
@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@tashen @rrgeorge @paul Thanks haha. To be clear I think Paul is talking about something that is similar to AMP in its annoyingness, not AMP itself

tashen,
@tashen@mstdn.games avatar

@christianselig @rrgeorge @paul oh gosh. That’s what I get for not reading thoroughly enough. 😅
Google’s half-page pop-ups on iOS asking you to sign in literally while you’re scrolling search results, is definitely super annoying.

rrgeorge,

@tashen @christianselig @paul I did the same thing 😅

I stand by my Amplosion recommendation though.

Meat_Bucket,

@paul that caused me to finally switch to Duck Duck Go. Not regretting it at all.

opkopk,

@paul someone the other day found a switch to turn off the prompt. I did it on Mac and forgot completely how before I could do it on my phone.

iGaucho,

@paul The developer of Apollo @christianselig has a nice solution to this called Amplosion (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amplosion-redirect-amp-links/id1585734696).

danofthewibble,
@danofthewibble@mastodon.social avatar

@paul There is/was a good iOS extension which removed AMP and turned them back into proper links. Wanted a bit much on a monthly basis though.

roo,

@paul you may already know this but there's a great safari extension called amplosion that automatically jumps to the article when you click an amp link, worth installing if you hate amp (as i do)

andremoore,

@paul it’s SO ANNOYING. I hope they see bad results and cut that soon.

libraryvines,

@paul DDG for general searching, then !g followed by the search if I need to lean on Google again has worked pretty well for me, but mileage will vary

@paul I also hate it when I open up gmail on a non-chrome browser, it keeps telling me to use chrome for a “better” experience. Ugh!
