is there still no way to remove the Google search bar from the Pixel home screen? - eviltoast

Nova launcher is getting more and more incompatible with my Google Pixel 8 and my Google Pixel 6. The Google search bar on the home screen was the reason I started using a third party launcher. have they fixed that yet?

    Unfortunately, the only way seems to be to use another launcher. I’ve been using the non-free Smart Launcher, which meets my needs well and has a decent level of features and customization. I also quite like Kvaesisto which has a highly customizable and powerful search (FOSS).

    I don’t think that there is a major Pixel/AOSP based launcher in development rn, but someone else may know of one. Lawnchair is ancient history, NeoLauncer is dead.

    • Turns out that Lawnchair is back in active development, but had not yet had a new stable release. You may want to check it out if you don’t mind relying on a beta version.
