При сохранении в формат mhtml нет никакой разницы в размере файла оригинальной страницы и страницы Google Web Light открытой с помощью этого расширрения. Вывод такой - это расширение не работает а proxy Google Web Light работает в режиме DNS сервера. Предлагаю расзработчику использовать AMP CDN чтобы исправить расширение.
