Just in case people aren’t aware Nova was acquired by Branch. Putting it out there so people can decide whether that matters or not.

Nova Launcher has been acquired by analytics company Branch

Hopefully, this isn’t the end of an era for Android launchers

I use Nova. After seeing this, I have disabled internet access for the app (I use LineageOS, where this is an option). Is that enough to avoid any potential downsides, or is there anything else I should be aware of?
I also did it but via Adguard. I think there’s no option to block internet access for an app in Samsung One UI. Only found option to disable background use of internet for apps
