The google launcher used to have that unremovable google search bar smack at the top of the screen, at least on my old Android 7 phone. Google got lots of search ad revenue from having that thing on a billion screens. I’m pleased but a bit surprised and puzzled that it is gone from my new Android 13 phone. I don’t know if Pixel phones have it these days.
This was basically Blondies Pizza back in the day. Also the nitter thread is from 2019.
