Nova Launcher Alternative? (lemmy.ml)

I've been just not updating Nova as I haven't had a ton of time to research this, I really like the GUI, what are my privacy friendly/FOSS options for an android s21 5G?

Update: Went with Neo launcher. It's got enough of the features that I'm willing to use it.

There are a few spots where padding can't be removed that is obnoxious, FF search bar and dock are what I have noticed so far.

I also don't like that I can't continuosly scroll through my home screens.

How do you want to open the drawer? Upwards? You can chabge it to right/left swipe

If you mean the widget edit button, there's plans to change it, and to add it to the three dots menu, afaik. In the meantime you can hide it in the settings.

How do you create webapps?

I click on install in fennec and it appears on my favorites list and I can search it, and tag it. It does not appear on the homescreen like on other launchers.

I don't use work profiles anymore, I didn't know that. Hopefully there's already an issue for it on their github page
