Maybe something for the Pixel phones? I’ve been using ADW for a long time now, and was wondering what some frequently used launchers are. (I used Cyanogen for a long time, too.)

There are lists all over the internet, but I’m interested in what the Lemmy crowd likes. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks guys - a few of these were on my radar, some I hadn’t heard of or seen in the Play/f-droid lists. Having the reasons why you like each of them helps me figure out what I want from a launcher (for instance, the purchase of Nova by a company known for its data collection is a big turn-off even though it seems loved) - since you guys laid out some pros and cons of a bunch of launchers, it gives me a better picture!

    I use Nova. After seeing this, I have disabled internet access for the app (I use LineageOS, where this is an option). Is that enough to avoid any potential downsides, or is there anything else I should be aware of?

      Been a while since I used Nova myself, but when I last checked the branch integration was only present on the beta version of the app.

      The normal version hadn’t been updated since December 2021, so I think that version is fine with it being from before the branch acquistion.

      I also did it but via Adguard. I think there’s no option to block internet access for an app in Samsung One UI. Only found option to disable background use of internet for apps
