[minor default config] frog find and 68k news in default bookmarks

Open pirate486743186 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

This is very simple. I'm proposing to have default bookmarks that are displayed if w3m starts with no link to open. It's two entries, a search engine and a proxy of google news that serve simple HTML and also wrap outgoing links in a proxy with simple HTML. This works reasonably well.

frog find http://www.frogfind.com/ It's a search engine using duckduckgo

68k news http://68k.news/ proxy of google news

They have no https certificates, your modern browser will complain. They were created so that you can browse the web on vintage computers. A demo even worked on a computer from the 80s. So they are a nice fit for w3m and other terminal/simple browsers.

is mainly for the WWW_HOME variable to set a default start up page

e.g put in your ~/.bashrc export WWW_HOME="https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/"

$ w3m then it will go to whatever page you set it to


or if you like your bookmarks to be the default export WWW_HOME="file:/home/$USER/.w3m/bookmark.html"
