How to Switch From a Google AMP Page to a Regular Article

Google AMP is designed to make websites load faster when you’re on your phone, but in practice it can be a little annoying as it hijacks your browsers with swiping actions and creates a custom Google-generated URL. Fortunately, you can work around this.

By default, when you click an AMP link (news articles that appear in the header at the top of search results) to download an article, swiping to the right or left will suddenly take you between different articles from different sources. This alone is annoying, but the small AMP headline at the top of the articles is also distracting.

Whatever the reason you don’t like AMP, you can work around it to load the regular version of the page. Just tap the link icon in the AMP header and then tap the pop-up URL. This loads the regular version of the page.
