I’ve tried a lot of the launchers I see talked about frequently- Nova, Niagra, Smart Launcher, Action Launcher, etc. but they all seem to not be worth the hassle of switching away from pixel launcher. Also none of them have the Google News feed that the pixel launcher has. I feel like I’m losing features when I switch. Perhaps I’m just stupid and am not utilizing the features these launchers actually bring to the table.

Can you tell me about your favorite launcher and it’s features that keep you hooked to it? Thanks.

    Pear launcher has worked great for me. I’m actively trying not to use Google services and Google news is useless to me. I use an RSS reader instead. Pear launcher seems to have no trackers and allows making tabs in the apps screen the way I want. There’s not a huge deal more I need from my launcher.

    I also use KISS launcher as a google search replacement. If I tap home button on the home screen then it calls KISS launcher search to find results on my phone (or send to the internet search shortcuts I have set).
