PSA: Nova Launcher is owned by an analytics company - eviltoast

Since a few folks seem unaware of this, I’m posting anew for visibility.

    Given for months now I keep randomly experiencing UI hangs requiring me to kill Nova, that day may have finally come…

      Hmm, I’ve had it happen once, thought it was odd. Are you on a Samsung too, like the other comment? How often does it happen?

        Nope, Pixel 6 running Android 14. It’s highly variable but I’d say it happens… every two or three days, sometimes multiple times a day. To say it’s aggravating is putting it very mildly.

          Ok, that is pretty bad. As mentioned, I’ve had it happen once. I use the app search function a lot, which I’ve set to the swipe up gesture, and it just stopped working that day. Had to find a way to force reset the launcher. Having that happen every 2-3 days to multiple times a day would be a dealbreaker for me.
