Guix,

After installing the eolie Web browser from Guix and opening it for the first time, it immediately loads www.google.com. This was an unpleasant surprise to me (I lead a sheltered life) and I consider it a bug.

From cursory source-pokin's it seems pretty trivial to change the
default start page to guix.info or about:blank.

However, www.google.com is also used as the default search engine when the user mistypes a URL or searches from the navigation bar. Not good! There doesn't seem to be a way to disable that, only to change the providers.

Built-in alternatives are DuckDuckGo and Qwant. Are they any better?

Kind regards,

T G-R
