To me it's still Nova. Ever since they were bought out I've been trying to find a replacement but nothing seems to match it feature for feature. Especially on Samsung or LG phones, I'm using Nova constantly.
I just developed a muscle memory to be able to swipe down or up on any app to trigger a specific task. It allows me to really keep my home screen clean.
I've turned off automatic updates to try to limit branches intrusiveness but I'm eventually going to have to move on.
After that kiwi browser or Firefox Nightly. I need at least one of those. Those are the only browsers that allowed desktop extensions.
I guess I would choose with Firefox Nightly as it gets updated much more frequently and isn't chromium.
