  I'm using Nova and Brave, the behavior described by OP still happens everytime I connect my Sony BT headphones.

    did you force stop and then disable the Google app? this is the step that takes care of it changing the launcher and browser have to be done first as the Pixel Launcher and Chrome really do expect the Google app to be running.

  That's how I was rolling until I got a new (to me!) car to replace a very old banger. It has phone connectivity and it's great, but it basically requires voice control, which works quite well. This meant I had to re enable the Google app. I want the feature, I just want to be in control of when and how that feature is used, not have it pushed hard in my face repeatedly.
