How to disable GoogleWebLight?

Put this directive in your .htaccess file to prevent google and others from chewing up then spitting out your website in an undesired, disfunctional format:

Header set Cache-Control "no-transform"

    Out of the blue all my chrome links and Google search links started opening on GoogleWebLight, and I don't like it.

    Not only will it allow Google to track me, but it also garbles page looks. I don't want it, and I can't seem to get rid of it.

    Not a good feature. Each time you load a weblight page, you have to load it again to see the info google stripped out. Then if you click a link to navigate to another page, and you decide to go back, you have to reload the weblight page to go back past it. The feature actually costs 3 times as much time and data for all who are forced to use it. Think about how much it costs google to develop this feature that only slows down the web.
