    I thought Lawnchair died off a looong time ago, Glad to hear it’s still going.

      But … Firefox is a browser, not a search engine?

      Or do you mean you can’t do a Google search via Firefox rather than using the Google search app?

        Firefox supplies a search bar widget that then uses your Firefox search settings, and it’s how I do things

        See:

        On Nova

        Tapping it immediately opens Firefox in the search bar with the keyboard open, and allows me to use my search history, browser history, bookmarks, and search suggestions, all at once:

          Ah gotcha. I suppose you could just disable the default dock search widget and manually add the Firefox one. Only downside is that it would have to be above the dock area.

        You cannot put Firefox’ search widget down there. That is the point they’re making

    Sadly, they use twitter, discord and telegram instead of matrix and fediverse.

      Who is they? oh you mean Lawnchair developers, yeah its true. I have stopped using instagram, twitter, facebook but some services are really hard to dump because of real social circles specially boomers.

      You sure? I’m using Lawnchair right now and it has cover mode.
      Unless they’re removing it in v14 for some reason?

        V14 (and V12, and v13) are basically a complete rewrite of Lawnchair. Starting from 0.

        They do have feature parity in mind though, and that is what they are working towards.

      They released dev builds which some contributors could fork, but no official release.

      They’ve started basing the version number in Lawnchair off of the Stock Android Launcher versions they are basing on.

    What is the difference between the official app and https://github.com/Goooler/LawnchairRelease

    I beloeoce since 2018 and this year the Goooler version was slightly ahead with some fixes.

    But is is now the same app, just signed with different keys (whatever that means). And if so why does git say its 250commits ahead?
