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