It's fine, and it works. I have a Pixel, though, and there's no way to disable the google search box on the homescreen. I will never use the search box, yet it dominates a good portion of my screen.

Isn't the stock one open-source? Even if it isn't, Java is really trivial to decompile reversibly, and removing features is much easier than adding. Take advantage of Android the way it was meant to be taken advantage of.
I think the only reason not to use stock.. I guess once of the main reasons people look elsewhere. And I don't actually need fancy features.
Probably there are more annoyances, but I never get to those since the search just kills it quick.
Is there a way to disable "swipe right for news feed"? I hated that inclusion in the Pixel launcher.
Yeah it can be turned off in stock launcher (at least I did on my Pixel 9 Pro XL).
I hate that search box, it's ridiculous that they force it on users. On the plus side looking up how to get rid of it led me to Lawnchair which I have been happily using for many years at this point.
