Also Amplosion from the same creator as Apollo. It bypasses amp from Google search results. One of the best purchases I’ve ever made, costs $2 I believe.

You're forcing links to open the right url and not the amp link from Google

When you open a link through google, it loads the page through their servers.

It’s supposed to speed up the experience, but what it actually does is fill the page with google ads, and google tracking.

Amplosion prevents safari from opening the google served page and instead opens the original.

It also makes links suck when you try to share something

I’m not sure if Google still does this but when you do a Google search and open one of the results it’ll open a different version of the page that says amp on top and messes up the layout of the page.
