Stuff like this is what's driving me to drop everything Google. I honestly didn't "really" care if they collected my data and directed ads to me. But they can seriously fuck off with asking if I want to turn on this Google thing or pay for that Google thing every other day. The amount of time I'm spending hitting "no" on all these prompts is starting to outweigh the amount of time it'll take to figure out and install GrapheneOS or LineageOS.

Nova launcher is good for getting rid of the search bar. I think it does other stuff but that's all I use it for.
