Pixel Launcher will soon allow you to choose the default web 'Search engine'. The app build that comes with Android 14 QPR2 Beta 3 contains a hidden search settings item called "Search Engine". This feature will allow you to choose an app for the web search.

Screenshot from the linked tweet of the setting in Android 14 QP2 Beta 3:

      Look on GitHub. There are daily builds for the actively developed branch. When I checked a few months ago, new features and fixes landed often.

          Again, there are daily builds that can be downloaded straight from GitHub and installed. That’s what I’m running. The only significant downside to it is that new builds don’t install over old builds so you have to backup/restore via the launcher’s settings.

            Okay, I think I just didn’t understand what you meant.

            Where do I find these daily builds though? I’m being extremely oblivious right now

            Found it, but I’d need to make a Github account to access these debug APKs

              Could be the case. I’m almost always logged in. MS started putting some Github features behind login over the last year.

                I only use Lawnchair because of the Arcticons icon pack, it doesn’t seem to work with the default trebuchet launcher. At least it didn’t last time I checked.

                All the other launchers Arcticons supports are either exclusive to the Play Store, or simply not what I like, so Lawnchair it is.
