Is it supposed to be like a dock? I’m using Nova Launcher and then I found the Edge Panel and it is a bit much but for those who use the default launcher is that the idea?

    Edge Panels are a samsung only thing, but I use a similar app on my phone.

    I use it less as a dock and more as a way to access stuff I want to quickly be able to go in and out of.

    For example, the 2fa app I use auto closes when I copy something to the clipboard, so I just swipe into the app, copy it, and I’m back where I was.

    Its also great for apps I don’t use frequently enough to want on my home screen, but when I do need them I don’t want to hunt around for them

    I assume you’re talking about the one found in samsung phones. It’s basically like a launcher with shortcuts to apps you can access from any screen without having to go back to home or the app tray. Personally I found it to be too much also, not very customizable and inefficient use of space with only a few apps showing up there. It can be disabled in settings.

    I like the idea though. I use the one handed+ module in goodlock where I can set another more compact app launcher when I diagonally swipe down from anywhere along the right edge screen. I have other shortcuts set to other gestures. It’s handy for multitasking.
