    It wasn’t removable previously. I’ve had to install launchers to get rid of it.

    the search bar is part of the launcher

    Yes. And it’s dumb. Also, if I have to install a separate launcher to customise the Homescreen for such basic shit, then it’s a bad idea.

    Note: this is all anger directed towards Google. Not you personally.

      You’re presumably talking about the Pixel Launcher widget, which isn’t removable (you can disable it but you don’t get the space back).

      This article is about the widget that non-Pixel phones can install, which will behave more like a standard widget as it can work on any launcher or device.
