Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.62 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open any website link which supports AMP(https://developers.google.com/amp/) in your android mobile For example https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2017/10/24/16533940/uber-long-pickups-late-cancellations-driver-earnings 2. Now (since you are back at home) you want to open same link on your laptop. 3. So you go to history menu in chrome and open the link. 4.The link doesn't change from amp to non amp link What is the expected behavior? Link translation should happen automatically and the windows browser specific link for the same page (news article) should open. What went wrong? The amp link doesn' support rich image functionalities as well as screen layout is screwed up. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 62.0.3202.62 Channel: stable OS Version: 10.0 Flash Version: Not sue of this is Google's job or website owners need to translate the link.

Thanks for the report. It's by design that Chrome doesn't know anything specific about AMP pages (AMP just uses the web, not any special Chrome features). Also many AMP pages are designed to work well on desktop, so I doubt the AMP team would want to automatically redirect AMP pages to the canonical URL on desktop. But it seems to me that there should at least be an easy way for publishers to choose to do such redirects when it makes sense for them and perhaps AMP should encourage this in cases when the user experience will be better. /cc Matle AMP TL - perhaps there's something from the AMP project he can point to here. Or you might want to try filing an issue at https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml.

AMP works great on desktop. If publishers would like to redirect to a different URL, they can always do that, of course, but we recommend responsive design. |
