I just got the Pixel 8 Pro and the lack of rounded edges is nice. However, even with the Spiegen liquid air case that doesn’t cover the bezel completely, I am having some problems still reaching the edges of the screen in scenarios where I want to select text. That aside, it’s rarely an issue. (I just moved up from a Pixel 6 Pro that had rounded edges.)
I switched to the Hyperion launcher and got rid of the Google search bar on the home screen recently too. Trying to de-google, or at least, reduce Google intrusiveness has been fairly easy. (De-googling a Pixel is fairly moot, I know.)
