Brave Software, Inc., the company behind the free and open-source web browser Brave, has launched a new feature in its browser called De-AMP, which allows Brave users to bypass Google-hosted AMP pages, and instead visit the content’s publisher directly. However, Brave said that AMP is harmful to users' privacy, security and internet experience: "First, AMP is harmful to privacy. In many cases, AMP is so bad for performance and usability that Web users literally pay money to avoid AMP." Brave wants to protect users from AMP with the help of De-AMP, which will rewrite links and URLs to prevent users from visiting AMP pages altogether, redirecting users to the publisher versions of pages instead of the AMP version. And in cases where that is not possible, Brave will watch as pages are being fetched and redirect users away from AMP pages before the page is even rendered, preventing AMP/Google code from being loaded and executed. De-AMP is now available in Brave's Nightly and Beta versions and will be enabled by default in the upcoming 1.38 Desktop and Android versions, and will be released on iOS soon after.
