If there's some security vulnerability, perhaps. That said it's not ingesting data from the web. It's ingesting data from me and some of the installed apps. It's not a huge attack surface. I haven't heard of CVEs for Pixel Launcher for example. Doesn't mean there weren't any. With all that said, I'm using the actively developed version.
Actively developed? The most recent update I can remember was August 2022
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.
Yeah okay, fair enough. But still, nothing for us users since August 2022
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
Edit:
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.
