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?

    I mean, to be fair, I don’t think it’s up to Google to create an image search feature for DDG or someone else on their phones

      If Microsoft got busted for giving Internet Explorer special APIs not available to other programs (which made it the best browser on Windows because of its tight integration that could not be replicated by the competition), then what business does Google have doing pretty much the same thing here?

      It doesn’t appear like there’s any way for other search providers to hijack your nav pill and randomly pop up their own UI when you hold it, so why should Google?
