Lawn chair is the main FOSS alternative.
Be aware that there is a play store version that is not updated (version 2) and a beta that is actively maintained (version14.2 now)
They are quite different.

Where is the beta and why isn't it the main version?
This literally doesn't answer the question at all. It's just a snarky remark from someone who seems to think everyone else should be as privy to how all this works as they are.

To remove internet access from Nova, in android go to:
Settings->mobile network->data usage->network access
Go to Nova and select "disable network access"
Nova will complain after but functions just fine.
Someone correct me, but I think they can still send and receive data if using the Google services.
Correct
When that first happened I switched to KISS Launcher. Fully search based. really simple and really fast.
Imagine not using Lawnchair or Neo Launcher in 2024
Genuine question from someone with Nova launcher since like Android 6: do these alternatives have all the same features?
