I was recommended Niagara launcher on here a few months back.
After 2 days I paid for a year.
Just excellent.
Clean and snappy. Take a bit of getting used to but that was well worth the time.
If it look at the data safety section for Niagara launcher on Google Play store, it is also collecting and sharing data with 3rd parties. The cross section is a bit smaller than Nova's but it was still enough for me to nope out of there.
Second vote for Niagara. Admittedly I haven't tried other third party launchers.
