    I hope it has the ability to remove the Google search bar from the home screen

    EDIT: got the update, still can’t get rid of the search bar on the default launcher :(

      You could always use a different launcher to do this. I like Nova Launcher, but there are lots of good options.

          KISS launcher FTW. I could never go back to a standard launcher now.

          You can still use the APK of the version before the buyout. That’s what I’m doing until I find a mature replacement

        Custom launchers are a huge no to me if they don’t support Quickswitch… thanks again to Google/Android for breaking the animations…

        In loving Kvaesitso. It integrates really well with Nextcloud and Google Drive. And has a ton of other cool features.

      Search and ads are their bread and butter, Android is there to get you personalized ads. They’re not going to give them up as defaults.

      They even mess up split screen when you choose a different launcher. that’s just a dark pattern to make you use google more
