If you use DuckDuckGo you don't have to deal with AMP at all. Giving it a go on mobile is a good way to see how well it works for you too as searches tend to be less mission-critical compared to desktop-based searches.
Posts pasted from other people frequently have AMP - guess I should suggest a better search engine to them.

I use it on my phone anyway, but I wind up using `!g` all the time.
(yes, I made this same complaint on the DDG topic just a couple days ago)
random example: My girlfriend lost her laptop in airport security, and I wanted to find a picture of the specific scratch-and-sniff sticker she put on it for the claim form. Duck Duck Go search for "glossier blackberry sticker" didn't find it; Google Images did, first try.
* this turned out to be a good move, I got a positive response from TSA within minutes
That's one of the reasons that I'm glad that I stopped using Google search. I've always hated location-aware searches.
EDIT: interesting, never thought such a comment would get a downvote... Google brigade?
It breaks more than one of the site guidelines to post like this. Would you mind reviewing them and following them when posting here?
I still haven't brought myself to use it on my laptop, but I do use Bing on Vivaldi (I use Opera, Vivaldi, FF Dev Edition, Opera Dev Edition, and Chrome Canary - the first two for everyday browsing, and the rest for dev-ing. I use google in Opera, and Bing in Vivaldi).
Using search engines other than Google is a nice change of pace, even if not solely to avoid AMP pages.
It's not for everyone, as it requires running your own webserver, but I use Tiny Tiny RSS to aggregate the feeds of the various sources I'm interested in, then can read the aggregated feeds (I have multiple, a different feed for each general subject) through the web interface and/or by using an RSS reader. I use an RSS reader (gReader) on my mobile devices to do this.
