Ruthless launcher! Came from a Pixel to Samsung and can't deal with their UI. Ruthless allows mostly replicating the Pixel look I'm used to.

Probably not very helpful for you on a Pixel, but maybe it helps someone else :)

Evie launcher. It's dead now, but I love it

Marshmallow Launcher.

I got annoyed with how HTC and especially Samsung did their UI, and switched to something that looked familiar and the second feature I looked for was the option to lock the icons.

It's the best using your own launcher when you switch phone your desktop just looks the same.

Nova honestly. Though it looks rather vanilla but its what i live with.

I've been using Apex launcher for years

I would have loved to keep using ADW2, but it got extremely outdated and started having compatibility issues. I used it since the first major version, now legacy ADW.

Now I use and love Nova (stable branch).

I used Nova for years, but it felt increasingly outdated so I switched to Action Launcher. Then it too started to feel outdated after a few years so I switched to Smart Launcher, which I've been loving. I miss AL's side drawer but SL has a lot to offer if you want something slick and simple, with custom widgets and layouts. I recommend you check it out!

I've been using the Arc Launcher for years now, purely for the reason that it looks rad as FUK. Probably better functioning launchers out there, but Arc Launcher looks cool lol
