Wow, that's perfect. I'm actually really used to Niagara Launcher right now but I might consider Pixel Launcher. It's just sooo smooth on a Pixel, no other launcher quite gets there, even Niagara.
I've really come to like Nova. It's one of the few that is as smooth as the pixel launcher
It's not. Particularly the switch to a multitasking view and some animations cannot be as smooth for any third party launcher due to the fact that the required API is not available to them. I don't remember the details but I think it's only available to system apps? I know it can be achieved with root but I don't want that.
Just switched to Nova Launcher on my Pixel 7 about a month ago. Every once in a while —like, maybe once a week or so—it'll take about a quarter second to load the home screen when I go to home. About as frequently, there will be a slight visual glitch when I launch an app, where the icon zooms out instead of in; but that doesn't affect how long it takes to launch the app. I've also noticed an increase in my battery life, despite tripling the number of widgets since switching to Nova.
Anecdote isn't the singular of data, though.
