Great article! I was wandering what was my mistake when I wanted to copy CORRECTLY an url. What is this nonsense?! In one hand Google pushes HTML5 to fight Adobe Flash Player nonsense, and now we have to deal with this type of moves?! I have the right to go to the ORIGINAL LINK if I want to. Not to some Google cache instead, that should be totally optional. However you can figure out the real url from the Google AMP link, but not always works.
Sorry for my rusty english.
