Has anyone noticed that since a few weeks mobile Chrome shows a really curious behavior?

On a normal webpage:

- I scroll down -> address bar is hidden.

- I scroll up a bit and then down again -> address bar is shown

On any AMP page:

- I scroll down a bit -> address bar is hidden

- and then I can scroll in any direction I want and the address bar never appears unless I scroll to the very top

For me that feels like Google wants to keep me inside the AMP page and makes it harder to navigate to a normal page.

Surfing the web via google results has become a pain, and I try to avoid it as much as possible now.

AMP pages enclose the page you visit within the html of google. So from the browsers perspective it is styling a box, not a scrolling body of text. iOS has similar weird behavior in Safari, and it’s pretty annoying.

I noticed this as well. I couldn't think of a benign or accidental explanation for it.

I just tested an AMP page in mobile Chrome, and I'm not seeing the behavior you described. Once I scroll up again, the address bar reappears.

Thx for the reply! I did some more investigation and I can reproduce it the following way:

- go to https://news.google.com and scroll down until the address bar is hidden

- click on any of the AMP links

- the AMP links loads and the address bar is still hidden

- scroll around the page. The address bar only re-appears if I scroll to the very top, otherwise it stays hidden

I use Chrome 74.0.3729.157 on Android 7

I was really expecting more then a “Works on my machine” from a google employee ;)
