I had a similar issue where everything would open on chrome. I just uninstalled chrome and now it opens everything on Firefox. Pixel might do things differently though
This is specifically about the search bar in the Pixel launcher. It's just how they implemented the feature - it requires the app.
Ah sorry, have never owned a pixel. So the search bar is not just a widget that you can remove or replace with different widget?
That's one of the annoying parts of the stock OS (unless you can ignore the search bar), it's an unremovable part of the default Pixel launcher. To get rid of it you'd have to install a 3rd-party launcher, or just install GrapheneOS 👀
