PSA: Buy a $30 thin client from eBay. Install Ubuntu (or your distro of choice), then install and set up pi hole, then use premade ad lists to block amp links (and whatever else you want).
Because a pihole doesn’t stop people from sharing AMP links, it only prevents you from viewing them. So it’s probably not a good answer to give when someone recommends that other people not use AMP links.
Don’t get me wrong, a pihole is good to have for anyone who has the competency to set one up. They’re not the answer to stopping people from sharing AMP links, is all.
Amp links are a threat to the free and open internet, it’s better not to use them.
Reddit has u/amputatorbot , which converts Amp links. I wonder if a similar bot would work here?
Christian from Apollo made this app (Amplosion) to help with that:

Is this a good add on to block them?

Does having a pihole somehow stop people from posting AMP links?
Well yes sort of, if you have pi hole enabled then you can’t view or access amp links so you probably wouldn’t share it
Honest question why did I get downvoted to hell for this?

Appreciate the sane answer. I think I am probably a little too excited about my recent pi hole set up :)

…surely there’s easier way to block amp links?
