It's not a wacky far-out conspiracy theory to notice that Google is attempting to dominate the internet. It's a serious problem that we need to do something about before it's too late.

It is, however, a wacky far-out conspiracy theory to claim that Google is developing this feature for the purpose of internet domination.

The given purpose is phishing prevention, which is the same reason why this exact feature has been part of Safari for years yet no one pointed out that it was a nefarious attempt by Apple to takeover the web and further their walled garden.

No, it's not. Are you aware that Google is mangling AMP URLs to make them look like original URLs and hide the fact that they are hosted by Google?

Which has nothing to do with the feature discussed in this thread, which is to hide non-domain parts of the URL.

What you're referring to is the Signed Exchanges proposal.
