I can’t believe there is no way to opt out of AMP as the end user. The UX is so terrible. Often times I will search for something and have a Reddit result come back. When I tap the link, I get the AMP page which:

* does not show all comments, often ones I am actually looking for

* does not let me collapse comment sections

* uses the default white background theme which burns my retinas if I am looking at my phone in a dark environment

* shows overlay ads for the Reddit app that cover about 40% of the screen for no goddamn reason

* requires 2-3 separate actions to get to the original page

Yet I cannot find a browser extension or setting to tell AMP to fuck off. Honestly AMP might be what finally gets me to switch search engines after many years of using Google.
