## Description

The AMP Browser Extension enhances your web browsing experience, especially on slow or unstable connections. It automatically loads Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) or Mobile Instant Pages (MIP) to deliver lightweight, faster-loading web content. Users can seamlessly switch between AMP and full web pages, while AMP links are highlighted in Google Search results for easier access.

This extension leverages the Google AMP Cache to further improve page load times and includes a Save-Data request header to help conserve bandwidth. It also allows users to exclude certain hostnames from processing and provides customizable toggles for all features within the options menu. Open-source and independent, it ensures privacy and flexibility without any affiliation to Google.
