Lawnchair is not as fancy but it works
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 9mo agoIt doesn't support adding pages to the home,sadly
- notpushkin 9mo agoDid you mean tabs (to the drawer)? You totally can add new pages to the home – try moving an icon beyond the screen border.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 9mo agoNo I mean that if in Brave I say "add this page to the home", the launcher gives an error
- GlitchRider47 9mo agoThat's strange, that hasn't happened to me. Maybe a reinstall might fix the problem? I use it on a Pixel 8A
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 9mo agoUh interesting. I'm on Pixel 8A too. Could be! I'll give it another shot
- notpushkin 9mo agoAh, pages like in webpages. Gotcha. It’s interesting, Lawnchair works totally fine with these “app action” 1×1 widgets, and Firefox can add website shortcuts without any problem for me. I’ll try it in Brave a bit later.
- spiffytech 9mo agoI get the error if I try dragging the icon to the home screen. But it works if I click "add to home screen" so it auto-places, then move the icon afterward. I've got a bunch of web pages on my Lawnchair home screen.
- garciansmith 9mo agoLawnchair is good. I just really want app drawer tabs, the only reason I've stuck with Nova.
- ahartmetz 9mo agoPeople are suggesting mostly search-based launchers here. Lawnchair is a launcher similar to Nova (icon-based) which should be safer from enshittification because it's FOSS. Actually derived from an old Google Launcher... Yes, Lawnchair isn't packed with functionality, but it's also not packed with anti-functionality.
- ahartmetz 9mo agoBackground: I have just switched from Nova, for which I paid (Nova Prime), to Lawnchair, initially as a trial. But I'll probably stick with it.
