You ignored the safely qualifier. You would deanonymize a user to the publisher and the third party trackers on their page even if the user never clicks through to visit the page.
lern_too_spel is right. That is literally what AMP was built for.
Let's watch as HN downvotes the correction while upvoting the misinformation in the top-comment.
edit: Downvote and flag. Very disappointing.
Thanks for your comment. I wasn't trying to bait any downvotes though. I have no desire to be downvoted. I was frustrating that another user was being incorrectly downvoted and ganged up on simply for explaining how something worked, and I was trying to defend them.
I tried editing the comment before I went to bed to soften it but HN would not allow me to do so. If that were possible, I don't think we'd be having this chat.
Other users in this thread have similarly been flagged simply for explaining how AMP works. I'd ask that you review the other flagged comments in this thread to review if they were done in respect to the site guidelines as well.
Thank you.
>Starting with google: AMP does not actually make loading any faster. Google just uses it's search monopoly to make it seem so.
This is a complete misunderstanding of how AMP works. Google isn't abusing a monopoly to make AMP-pages appear artificially faster; they actually are faster. That's because they're safe to preload by design, as lern_too_spel explained already.
The monopoly comment makes even less sense when you consider that other search engines do the same, and even host their own AMP caches.
It'd be quite problematic to load www.example.com/delete-account/confirm, for example.
