Lawnchair blacklists/used to blacklist apps they did not like. That does seem user friendly.

  What kind of apps did they blacklist, and why?

    It seems to be pirated icon packs. see the other comment in this same parent comment.

      Ok I see. That's a random stance, but nothing that worries me too much.

  I cannot find any indication that this is true.

    From the little research I did, they do appear to certain block apps. https://github.com/LawnchairLauncher/lawnchair/blob/b0ecfb84e996f0196d112785fa4e8ba26a375bf9/app/src/main/java/ch/deletescape/lawnchair/Utilities.java#L166 https://github.com/LawnchairLauncher/lawnchair/blob/b0ecfb84... https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/7azc2i/deleted_by_user/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/7azc2i/deleted_by_... https://github.com/LawnchairLauncher/lawnchair/issues/940 https://github.com/LawnchairLauncher/lawnchair/issues/940 https://github.com/LawnchairLauncher/lawnchair/pull/902 https://github.com/LawnchairLauncher/lawnchair/pull/902 From the dev themselves in that PR > @dasBiest: It's our business to prevent unauthorized use of iconpacks. > Just like Substratum is keeping you away from using pirated themes for example.

      Props for doing the research and posting the links - I stand obviously corrected. I get why they did it, but it also leaves a bad taste in my mouth. :( Sigh.
